It was a two-week vacation sailing in the gulf of Mexico. Steve and his friend Tom hadn't planned on stopping a raid on the US.

A sailing trip starts out great for Steve McInerney and his buddy Tom Palmy when they meet another sailor, Audrey Sutter, who joins them at an anchorage where the two boats ride out a storm. Unfortunately, a couple of Mexican bandits shelter in the same place and take a liking to Audrey's boat. Their plans didn't include three gringos surviving the encounter.
