When the burlap sack is ripped from her head, decorated Olympic athlete Story Helms finds herself seated on a steel platform overlooking an arena somewhere far off the northwestern coast of Australia. Welcome to The Atoll, where abductees are pitted in combat against the world's deadliest apex predator, Majesty, a twenty-one foot Great White shark. Story is next in the ring-how long will she last? Place your bets.
The Atoll presents real terror on the high seas. These are not pirates or sea monsters. These are regular people forcing captives to battle nature's greatest predator on its home turf.
