The camera pans over a desolate, sun-bleached shore. Amidst the wreckage of a storm lies a crude shelter of sticks and seaweed. Inside, Bailey Morgan—once the epitome of privilege, now gaunt and blistered—tends a sputtering fire. Her blue eyes widen in horror and hope as she spots a figure tangled in the tide. She stumbles forward, trembling, her designer past a distant memory. With desperate, shaking hands, she checks for a pulse. The stranger stirs. Bailey recoils, choking on a sob of relief. For the first time since the wreck, the silence is broken. She is not alone.
