"New passengers boarding in T-minus 20 minutes. You know the drill, crew!"
Life on the Ocean Madness Cruise Liner isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Naomi Sharpman always tries to keep operations running to military precision, but with the arrival of an unsavoury inspector, a spiralling stockpile of secrets, and the charismatic Miss Alderson catching their son Ellis’ attention, this cruise could be the biggest test this madcap family have had to face yet. As truths are uncovered and the chance of a better life looms, they realise their unusual lifestyle will never be the same again. Will the trials of the Ocean Madness bring this family closer than ever or simply leave them feeling seasick?
