Packard Corporation accountant, Cedric Sharp, vanishes. Homicide Sergeant Harding Knox takes temporary leave from the Minneapolis Police Department to fulfill an obligation to a friend. He flies to Florida to find Sharp. Drug runners commit a gruesome murder linked to a smuggling operation and a body discovered in Hell Peckney Bay. The son and daughter-in-law of retired Admiral and CEO, Jonas Packard,  are kidnapped in the Dry Tortugas aboard the yacht Sanctuary.

​

Events connect when circumstances entangle Knox in an island killing. He departs the island, joins forces with DEA  Special Agent  Caesar Kelly, special operators, and a Columbian police Colonel. Into the jungle a search for the Packards and a captured U.S. Army pilot becomes foiled. A plot to circumvent corruption and national policy emerges, the objective- rescue, revenge, and justice.

 

In the wake of events, erupts The Columbian Sanction.
