A retired U.S. Navy captain becomes an inadvertent witness to the
hasty hiding of a cache of drug cartel money by felons being
pursued by the police in Los Angeles. The captain is a recent
widower who has just lost his retirement job with a defense
contractor and is, at the moment, without purpose and motivation.
As a consequence, he makes an impulsive decision to keep the
money; and goes on the run. The drug cartel is searching for him
and are hot on his heels.
Without any options, and with the assistance of a former
shipmate, he stages his own suicide, undergoes an identity change
and extensive plastic surgery.
Armed with his new identity he escapes in his sailboat and makes
the long solo journey across the Pacific Ocean to a small atoll
near Tahiti where he finds romance and redemption. The journey
becomes a voyage of discovery, self-realization, adventure and
beauty.
There he is tracked down by members of the drug cartel and, in a
searing confrontation at sea, his bride-to-be manages to save him
by taking on the cartel in a fiercely uncharacteristic show of
determination.
The peculiar circumstances surrounding the mysterious,
unexplained disappearance of all but one of the cartel team sent to
apprehend him and recover the money; coupled with a macabre package
sent anonymously to the cartel leadership, convince them to end
their search.
