Heth Jackson Hill lived in a modest three bedroom, on the outskirts of Salina, Kansas. Then, he goes on a seemingly innocent business trip to Grenada and his life changes forever. Opening his luggage, only to discover it full of bags of money, he is immediately rendered unconscious, and awakens in the ocean, twenty feet down and sinking fast. Fighting for his life, he is stranded in the water for days, until he is finally discovered by the crew of a freighter. After he becomes strong enough, the captain forces him to work, as part of the crew, until the chief engineer is injured during a storm and Heth manages to repair the damaged engine. Approached by another member of the crew, he learns that there are two people onboard who do not belong there, hiding unseen. When they are revealed to be couriers, being smuggled into Lebanon, Heth is taken captive by the men. Can he escape? Will he survive? And what is the endgame that so many are involved in?
