Seacliff Park: a Chilling Tale of Treachery, Betrayal, & Fog

In 1929, newlyweds set out to build a seaside amusement park atop a grounded oil tanker -- but in its depths, bootleggers have darker plans.

"1929. Newlyweds Lily and Charlie set out to build a family amusement park atop a derelict WWI oil tanker—a wedding gift from Lily’s father—grounded along the shores of Monterey Bay. They dream of filling their ship with children’s laughter. But bootleggers cashing in on Prohibition have other plans, secretly installing a speakeasy in the ship’s hold. When war breaks out between rival crime syndicates, Lily and Charlie are caught in the crossfire and must outwit ruthless gangsters to survive—and save each other."
