A "WE OWE YOU NOTHING" sign greets the marooned sailors as they approach the community of boaters drifting in the middle of the Pacific. Personal friendships and services provided by the floating marina are all that hold this ocean town together, but its dwellers have one more thing in common: a deep mistrust toward any form of government. This is exactly what makes it an ideal place for a fugitive like Doctor Paul Bronski, pursued by military counterintelligence on suspicion of stealing the Army's drug code-named "Remorse." A pretty harbormaster, Grace, has her own reasons to avoid the authorities, and when she and Paul fall in love, their problems multiply. Can determined individuals break the leash, escape from the strangling embrace of the state? Or is such an embrace more like gravity and death-inevitable?As Paul and Grace feverishly search for the answer, fleeing across the ocean and the mountains of Panama pursued by a psychopathic agent, they discover something else: a magic formula for happiness.
