Arriving at the west African seaport settlement, he meets Aileen, who is determined to find her cousin who disappeared along with the other missing people Robert has been sent to find. Robert knows how dangerous prying into this mystery is, and he feels duty bound to dissuade Aileen from all further involvement. But she latches on to Robert and refuses to stay in safety. Robert's reluctance to open up, to understand his own feelings, or even to engage with life itself beyond his ship is holding him back. Aileen breaks through his armor, but will their connection strengthen and continue to evolve?
