A sailing adventure to the Caribbean turns into a nightmare. Prior to his departure Ryan Cunningham meets a beautiful, younger, mother of two in recovery, who is trying to put her life back together. When he leaves the dock several weeks later his crew has grown by three to include Tory McCane, her 12-year-old daughter Jan and her 5-year-old son Willy. On the first leg of their trip they survive a two-day storm of hurricane force winds on the way to Bermuda. In Bermuda, they run afoul of an amoral, international drug smuggler named Edward and his mega-yacht full of misfits. Edward is transporting over 180 kilos of cocaine and Ryan vocalizes his suspicions about them to a customs inspector who attempts to take them down. Edward gets a serious resentment and decides to make their lives a living hell; something he excels at. It will take everything they have to survive his attentions.
