Instead, as the water climbs and a massive great white shark moves beneath it, their fractured family is forced into a fight for survival.Judy is no monster. She is the sea in motion - instinct, hunger, pressure, and tide.Atmospheric, tense, and emotionally grounded, JUDY is a literary survival thriller about family, fear, grief, and the terrifying indifference of nature.
