Jake Sanders is a successful writer who is seeking a quiet place in which to write his next book. He selects a Caribbean island off the beaten path where he can spend the next few months while he works, only to discover that the island has been taken over by the Columbian drug cartels as a staging point for smuggling drugs into the United States and Europe. Persuaded to help the drug lord's wife and young daughter escape to America, their escape is detected and they are pursued through the Caribbean island chain to Florida, where they will be safe - or will they? There is one last gauntlet they must survive.
