Tito thought the worst part of his morning was losing his beloved Burmese python, Shakira. He was wrong. When her severed head bit him in a final, venomous twitch, something inside him changed. His fevered body spasmed, his mind clouded, and soon, black bile was pouring from his mouth—right onto the lobsters bound for a luxury cruise. Now, aboard the Joyride, vacationers expecting paradise find themselves trapped in a floating nightmare. Passengers transform—moaning, hissing, their tongues flicking like snakes. As chaos erupts, a desperate stepdad must protect his family and fight to escape before the infection claims them all.
