Cheeky, self-assured travel reviewer JASON CUMMINGS is aboard the luxury liner THE HIGH COTTON, yearning for excitement and drama. He gets more than he's bargained for when he discovers danger on the high seas, and he's determined to document everything, much to the chagrin of CAPTAIN PADMA PATEL. Unknown to Jason, an unmanned cargo ship DURANGO is programmed by North Korea to crash into Charleston's harbor with sinister intentions. The purpose of Durango's voyage is unknown. What's clear is that the ship's path is a bull's eye for the now stalled High Cotton. Meanwhile, Captain Patel struggles to head off passenger panic while High Cotton is adrift and facing disaster. After urgent but ignored radio transmissions, the gutsy Captain sends out an SOS to the nearest vessel, a shrimp boat. Brothers NICK and TREVOR STARNES agree to assist, but only due to the insistence of Nick's lovable but curmudgeonly shrimping partner, RAY CARTER. However, they have no idea of the crazy plan the Captain has in mind. As a hair-raising feat unfolds Jason films the story by drone. He then discovers footage revealing a dead body on the rogue ship. It's all hands on deck for this brains and brawn drama, so grab your life jacket and start reading!
