CIA agent, Remo Francesini has deep concerns when he talks to a man dying of radiation sickness in the naval hospital at Guantanamo. He is under pressure from his boss, Admiral Starling, and knows the American public rely on people like him to keep them safe. But those concerns and worried deepen when he learns about Harry Marsham, an underwater oceanographer who survives when his yacht is rammed by a freighter in the dead of night, on a becalmed sea. Unwittingly, the two men are drawn into a battle to expose the plans of world famous explorer, Hakeem Khan and his plan to attack the soft underbelly of America. The result would devastate the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern seaboard of the United States. Marsham and his associate, Helen are sucked into a world of kidnap, Caribbean voodoo, nuclear weapons and the very real threat of apocalyptic proportions.
