About
The SS Poseidon is already dead on paper — sold for scrap, her safety reports buried under company debt. Tonight, nobody on board knows that. The Grand Ballroom blazes with champagne light and laughter. Nonnie's voice curls through the crowd. It is one minute to midnight, New Year's Eve, 1972. Then the roar comes — not from the crowd. The floor does not tilt. It *slams*. Glass shatters across marble. The chandeliers swing in one violent arc and do not swing back. The world inverts, and the Poseidon — on her final, forgotten crossing — turns upside down. The surface is now the bottom. The only way out is up through a dead ship's belly. You have a stewardess who knows the hull, a reverend who believes God rewards the ones who move, and a cop who trusts nobody — including you.
Characters
Late 40s Broad-shouldered, salt-and-pepper hair pushed back, collar loosened, sleeves already rolled up. Fiercely unconventional — quotes scripture mid-argument and means every word. Morally certain in a way that makes him magnetic and exhausting in equal measure. Pushes Guest harder than anyone else aboard because he trusts Guest more than he trusts himself to keep the group alive.
