    If Haunting of Hill House had a baby with Stranger Things, Nowhere Land would be the result. 
    Legends are told for centuries of a haunted land not far from Gloucester, Virginia. The local 
    tribes in the past had labelled it a place of demons. Wildlife is hardly seen there, and even insects 
    avoid it. Sound fluctuates; nothing above a whisper one moment, only to come back minutes 
    later. No reason for this weird phenomenon. Those who dare to cross the land never make it out, 
    mysteriously vanishing. 
    Parker Burkett and his sister, Lisa Polivka, inherit the land from their grandfather. They bring in 
    a group of investigators to find if the stories behind the property are true. Parker has plans to turn 
    it into a historical attraction and wants to debunk the ghost tales. He finds the paranormal group 
    gone the next morning, except for a finger still wearing a ring lying in the loft of one of the 
    buildings. It is the only evidence they’d been there. 
    Ben Neilson, who leads the paranormal team, Seekers of Paranormal World, wants to investigate, 
    but first he must convince Parker to let them. He also wants longtime friend and psychic medium 
    Neri Phelan to help his team. Neri left the group a couple of years ago after the death of her 
    younger sister on an investigation. She has a past with the cursed land, and she doesn’t want 
    anything to do with it. Nightmares and an attack from something dark that destroys her spirit 
    guide help her decide that it’s time to break the curse. 
    Will they solve the truth behind the legends? Or will Neri and Parker, along with Ben and his 
    team, join the countless others over the centuries and become sacrifices to Nowhere Land.

    A Spanish woman trying to retire as an assassin, a French Foreign Legion deserter from Madagascar, a mysterious (perhaps CIA) woman from America, a billionaire military contractor, and a man wandering the seas alone on a sailing ship bump into each other in the Indian Ocean, and not all of them survive. 
     
    Mónica has had enough of her life as a contract killer when she meets lonely wanderer Frank Baltimore in a stupidly expensive resort in Madagascar. A few hundred miles away, Alain has had more than enough of his solitary post on a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and so when the mysterious Skye offers him a job, he says yes—he doesn't know if she is CIA, Wagner, Darkwater, or a gangster, but he wants in. She takes him to Diego Garcia, the top-secret United States military base in the middle of the Indian Ocean, for training. Things turn ugly and deadly when a man from Frank's past turns up trying to break into the lucrative, secretive, already crowded world of paramilitary contractors. He, Monica, Alain, and Skye end up on his bad side and turn to each other for help.
