Description
Through the death and destruction of World War I, a French sea captain made a small fortune. With a heavy conscience, Gustav Lefevre flees war-torn France to start a new life in Haiti. During Prohibition in the U.S., Captain Lefevre and his strange crew amass a second fortune. Bootlegging liquor to American shores was dangerous and lucrative... until alcohol was once again legalized. Now, on the eve of the Second World War, a new opportunity arises; sunken treasures. The shipwrecks of the Frying Pan Shoals (off of North Carolina) are virtually untapped. Approached by an unlikely ally, Captain Lefevre must now dodge U-boats, as well as overly curious yachtsmen, to find the payout of the century. Then, a century's after Captain Lefevre leaves France, a curious coincidence occurs as a major hurricane bears down on Cuba.
