Reverend Miles Farnsworth leads a struggling mission in the Bahamas. When word reaches him about an incoming cocaine shipment, he makes a desperate decision. The reverend plans to intercept the drugs and use them to fund his failing religious work. What starts as a scheme to save his mission quickly spirals beyond his control. Farnsworth finds himself caught between his calling to serve God and the dangerous world of Caribbean drug trafficking. The warm waters and tropical setting hide deadly currents as the reverend discovers that good intentions cannot protect him from the violent realities of the cocaine trade. His attempt to turn criminal cargo into salvation for his mission puts everything at risk.
