Monsoon Tide

The world’s first cinematic book: a fusion of film and the written word that takes the best parts of the two mediums to form an exciting new concept. A cinematic book — or cBook — combines a book’s ability to reveal a character’s innermost thoughts and motivations with film’s power to pull you right into the action and visually experience the sights, sounds and backdrop of the story.

Monsoon Tide is the story of Anni, a young aid worker of Anglo-Indian descent who, in 2004, finds herself returning to her beautiful, tropical birthplace, Kerala, India in the wake of the Asian tsunami. Anni hasn’t been to India since the death of her mother sixteen years before, and is unprepared for what she’ll find. In addition to her relief work, Anni must contend with her seemingly haunted stepfather in his isolated beachside house, and soon discovers that her mother's death was not the accidental drowning she had been led to believe. And, in fact, there are a number of people who are invested in what happened. Armed with her mother’s diary, her new unexpected friendships, and her instincts, Anni must untangle the lies from the truth and find out the real story of what happened to her mother all those years before.
