He came out of nowhere, half-naked, delirious and dying, with no memory of who he was, other than having been called, Billy, while indentured since childhood on a cargo/container ship. While on board, self-educated, Billy learns there's more to life, than just being a cabin boy, so one moonless night, he jumps overboard, escaping the ruthless Captain, not knowing if he'd make it or not. He finally washes ashore unconscious and is rescued and nursed back to health by Suzie, the young beautiful owner of the "High Tide", a rundown beach bar. He knows that he's a hunted man; so with one eye to the sea, he is ever watchful for the Captain, whom he knows will stop at nothing to find him ... and one day he does ... and so do the assassins - someone in his past, wants him dead ... but who and why? A teenage computer hacker stumbles on the answer - information that will forever change his and all the lives of those around him."
