Justin and Belinda get married and quite irregularly invite all of their friends along for their honeymoon. It is a cruise to England on the largest ship ever built-Colossus. On board are people with various problems and concerns such as a man seeking courage, a young man fighting the bottle, a wayward priest looking for the truth, a couple headed for divorce, a dying millionairess seeking one last moment of pleasure, a young doctor fleeing America after killing his terminally ill sister, a woman with her young son running from her murderous husband and many others. A young architect, Malcolm Winters, knows the ship is poorly designed and is vulnerable to a strong broadside wave but his warnings are ignored. Additionally, the company is going broke and the only way out is to collect the insurance money if Colossus sinks and they intend to see that happen. In the middle of all this are Justin, Belinda and the wedding party steaming along, having a good time unaware of the danger that awaits them. Not atypically, as in their other adventures, they start out on a routine story or vacation and end up fighting to stay alive. Will they survive the danger that awaits them on the high seas?
