Tom Bailey operates a fishing boat in the Caribbean, but his real business involves moving people illegally across international waters. A man calling himself Diego approaches Bailey with a proposition. Diego offers substantial payment for transportation services, though he refuses to reveal the specifics of what needs moving. Bailey sees an opportunity. He wants to abandon his criminal activities and start over clean, and Diego's generous offer could provide the funds he needs to retire from smuggling. Bailey accepts the job, expecting a routine run that will bring him closer to his goal of going legitimate. The two men set out together on Bailey's vessel into Caribbean waters. Neither man anticipates the complications that await them at sea. Bailey discovers that some risks deliver the promised rewards, while others exact a much steeper price than expected.
