Plot summary
Oona Neilson arrives at Morristown International Airport from London after ten years abroad. A few days later she visits Morristown harbour to find a ship's captain that can take her into the Ufra swamp. She is advised to contact Caleb Kagooda, owner of a charter boat and the only one who can safely go into the swamp. Oona contacts Kaleb and offers him a quarter of the recovered diamonds, that once belonged to her father. In total the diamonds are estimated to be worth 4 million.
