'Trapped in the Panama canal in the midst of a bloody civil war, three ships lie at anchor. Their skeleton crews wait out the deceptively calm days, and at night hold parties lit by shell-fire for the passengers. One of those passengers is Hisako Onoda, a world-famous cellist bound for Europe but afraid to fly. Diving from the tanker that has become her home, with the young French officer who has become her lover, Hisako first hears the drowned, whining noise of outboard engines, bringing the fury of the war to the ships and the people on them in a spiral of nightmare: a nightmare of a lake full of blood and a sky full of fire, which like the war itself, heralds only apocalypse...'
