Description
An ex-corporate hotshot and a homeless fugitive head to the Florida Keys hoping to straighten out their botched-up lives.
Due to a poor decision he made Jack Ryder has lost everything dear to him--his wife, his daughter, their twin Lexus's and palatial home in upscale Wellington, Florida are all gone. The other man, known in the nearby West Palm Beach homeless community as "The Prophet," is a well-read, gun-toting, enigmatic mountain of a man who's being hunted down by the FBI for a crime he insists he didn't commit.
The highly-unlikely duo first meet beneath a highway overpass the night after Jack is evicted from his home. But they don't stay in West Palm for long. They soon learn the FBI is closing in on The Prophet and flee south to No Name Key, where a friend of the fugitive has allowed them to lay low in an unoccupied mobile home.
When they first arrive in the Keys, having a roof over their heads and surrounded by breathtaking watery vistas, the two feel more hopeful about their futures. But that optimism quickly fades.
The Prophet begins to think the Feds are again closing in on him, and he starts to slip mentally. As for Jack, every time he calls his wife with hopes of getting her back she flat out refuses, and their teenage daughter becomes even more heartbroken over the situation. Then there's the beautiful, flirtatious bartender down at Michigan Mike's High Tide Pub who, despite Jack's efforts to dissuade her, keeps her romantic sights set on him. As if all that isn't enough, there's now a killer hurricane heading straight toward the Florida Keys, and when it arrives it's going to put Jack in a dangerous situation that could very well cost him his life.
