When Erik Barfknecht, New York's most notorious drug lord, is finally captured and sentenced to prison, he learns that his trusted lieutenant, Franco Defreitas, has not only betrayed him but has absconded with a significant portion of his fortune. Defreitas now basks in luxury on a secluded Caribbean island, reveling in his newfound riches. Determined to reclaim his stolen empire, Erik dispatches a ruthless team of assassins to the island, led by his most lethal operative, Shadow. However, in a shocking twist, Shadow has inadvertently defected and is now wreaking havoc across the island, leaving a trail of chaos and unsolved crimes that draw the attention of an increasingly desperate police force. Caught in this maelstrom are Robert Cullingberg, a restaurant owner; Kaila Bronson, a storm specialist and passionate environmental activist; their daughter Marielli; and Baptist Silver, a local fisherman whose simple life is turned upside down. As Defreitas' betrayal and Shadow's unforgiving streak of violent murders escalates, the island's serene beauty is shattered further by a catastrophic tsunami, which unleashes additional fury and despair. With the island in ruins and tensions escalating, the clash between Erik's vengeful forces, Defreitas' unbending will to escape and Shadow's chaotic rebellion reaches a fever pitch. As the islanders struggle to survive, their lives become entangled in a web of gruesome crimes. Cullingberg, Kaila and Marielli are caught up in a relentless fight for survival which leads them on a path to discovering deep hidden truths.
