On a cold December night, Cutty and Paula roll Rocinante into Leo Carrillo Beach, looking for a cheap campsite and a little sleep before chasing Cutty's missing sister up the coast. They find a flirtatious ranger, sea caves glowing radioactive blue, and a manila envelope in Floey's trunk—stuffed with nothing but blank pages and a message Cutty suddenly understands might be meant for him. Chapter 5, "Leo Carrillo and the Blank Pages," is where the road trip turns intimate, the mystery deepens, and Floey's past begins to demand a witness.
