Captain Ben Bass and his high-tech sailboat Abbondanza become the targets of a sociopath, bent on destroying the man and his machine. His identity is completely unsuspected because he is supposed to have been killed when his own boat blew up during a high-speed chase by the authorities. The man has very deep pockets, world-wide connections and the ability to plan an action that would cause an ecological disaster to an island nation in the Caribbean as a result. While killing Captain Bass is the goal, he might not realize that his actions are being investigated by counter-terrorists who are themselves unaware of the murder plot.
