As master of his
destiny, Paul Weekes does what is necessary to survive. He makes
his own fortune, but his luck nosedives when hijackers target his
illicit shipments. He has no proof, but suspects the police
officer who facilitates his exports off the island of Xantrope has
turned on him. To make things worse, Paul’s
ne’er-do-well cousin is accidentally involved in a gang murder,
and a hit is put on him.
A budding liaison with the cop's niece adds more complication.
Janine refuses to accept Paul’s way of life, but inadvertently
becomes a victim of his lifestyle. Thrust into kidnapping, double
cross and murder, Paul must choose between a relationship with Janine
and staying alive long enough to change the course of his future.
