Pirates, Bones and Strange Things

Pirates, diamonds, shape-changers and a volcano… Hold your breath! All of the action is packed onto a tiny island hidden in the blue Caribbean Sea. Where secret perils lie inside a mysterious rainforest under the cloak of a brooding volcano. When Dr. Jake Rhodes and his wife received an invitation as the honored guests of Blue Diamond Island, they hoped it was an answer to their prayers. They arrived to provide medical care and affordable housing to all the island's residents.

But soon, they find themselves trapped in a web of blackmail, kidnapping and murder. And when they become entangled with black-hearted pirates and fearsome shape-changers, things only got worse. Their troubles quickly escalate leading them into the heart of a dark and dangerous rainforest. A mysterious world of hidden treasures, but also great perils... where pirates, shape-changers, along with other menacing creatures are lurking. All the while, the Soufriere, the island's active volcano, stews and boils.

Time is running out. And as Blue Diamond Island ticks-down to an eruption, could anyone stop it? Who will survive?
