1972. A young man walks into a forbidden stretch of an uncharted island and never comes back.
1981. A dying cargo ship runs aground on the same reef, and six sailors find out why the coordinates were struck from every chart in the company's fleet.
Inspired by the true 1981 grounding of the cargo freighter MV Primrose off a restricted island in the Bay of Bengal, AVOID follows two men separated by nine years and one family's long, quiet refusal to explain what happened to either of them.
The Calloways built an empire on the water and spent decades trying to forget one word inked onto a chart. The crew of the Resolute has eleven days to learn what that word means, on a shore that keeps its own accounting of debts, and does not forgive them cheaply.
Some places aren't cursed. They're just still owed something.
