Sole Surviving Son

In 1982, on a quiet summer evening, a young boy rode his new bicycle to the local beach. While hidden behind a dune, he witnesses the beating, rape, and murder of a beautiful young girl. The steamship S.S. Deepwater departed Portland, Maine Harbor, on a summer night in 1940. The ship’s typical cargo of coal also includes a large, mysterious stainless-steel container that is on a journey from Poland to Brazil. Aboard the S.S. Deepwater is an attractive, middle-aged woman who delivers this container; she soon becomes attracted to the ship’s Captain. Before the ship departs, two mysterious men are added to the passenger list. But these men are with the German Secret Service, and they want the stainless-steel container. The ship follows the coastline to avoid any potential German submarines, but their luck runs out a few miles off Long Island, New York. Before the ship sank, the passengers departed on lifeboats. The exception was the two German guards, who had hijacked at gunpoint, the Captain’s launch, the woman, two crew members, and the stainless-steel container.
