"The customary punishment for masquerading as one of the almost-dead is... well, unpleasant in the extreme. It involves moths, whispers and an extended absence from yourself. We can't have everyone wanting to retire from their lives."

A missing person, an absconded tomb-colonist, a high-speed beach cruise and a daring attempt to escape the confines of the everyday. How far would you go to flee a suffocating life? What would you leave behind? And what is the price of a complete transformation? Begin a voyage of discovery in the pleasure beaches of the tomb-colonies. Once begun, there may be no turning back.
