When her husband Ted, a DEA agent, suggests they go to Panama to buy a boat and cruise the Caribbean, she agrees -- anything to bury her grief, anything to forget that she was once a mother. What she doesn't know is that Ted is part of a top-secret government operation to kidnap Spider, one of the world's most dangerous drug lords.

Ted sinks the sailboat off Panama's coast and Evie finds herself on an island inhabited by gentle Cuna Indians but controlled by Spider's brutal henchman. After Ted ruins an escape attempt and causes the death of a young Cuna girl, Evie realizes she too is a victim of Ted's duplicity as she's forced to participate in the unfolding events. When Evie changes the rules of this deadly game, no one -- not her husband, not the DEA, not even Spider -- can stop her.
