Micky, a married grade school teacher by trade spends his summers managing a snack bar for a wealthy beach club. A dormant pact unknown to him created by his grandfather and another man long ago mysteriously gains new life in mid-summer, bringing with it a powerful and ambitious woman intent on settling a score. Although blessed by random premonitions that sometimes aid his ability to see things in the immediate future, Micky is unable to resist the charms of Athena, a beautiful world renowned naval architect who will stop at nothing to gain a fortune she desperately needs. Lured into Athena's world where prisoners are used to build warships for the Danish Navy, Micky is befriended by Jack, the naval inspector who is immune to Athena's wrath. When Micky learns Jack holds the only key to his passage home before it's too late, Micky must take a gamble he can't afford to risk and can't afford to lose, putting many other lives at stake in the process.
