However, even there, she was starting to feel stagnant. Marnie was not thrilled when her sister assigned her the task of taking care of Sally Ann while she and her spouse were away for a year.

She soon discovered that caring for a canal boat was much more challenging than anticipated. At first, she was resentful of the amount of time it required, but gradually, her experience with Sally Ann became a turning point in her life.

What Marnie did not realize was that there were malicious undercurrents beneath the surface of the calm waters of Little Venice. A gangland power struggle had erupted in this tranquil corner of London. To make matters worse, there was a hunt for unspecified valuables. Some individuals, who lurked in the shadows, were willing to go to any lengths to obtain them, and unbeknownst to her, they had singled out Marnie as the key to discovering them.

Marnie set off alone on the boat for the summer, blissfully unaware of the malevolent forces following in her wake. With its strange encounters, triumphs, disasters, humour, and pathos, the journey would alter her life forever. And this is where her new life begins.
