Cornelius "Corney" Graham, part-time EMT and full time beach bum, is jarred from his insular life on Dog Island when a boat arrives on his island. The boat's pilot is dead and the passenger, the beautiful Lisa Cataldo, is wounded. Corney tends to her injuries and searches the boat for more potential victims. Aboard he finds a bundle of cash and a stash of cocaine. In a fit of anger, Corney destroys the drugs. As his anger subsides, he realizes he just tampered with evidence at a crime scene. Afraid of facing felony charges, Corney decides not to call the police. All is well until the drug smugglers come to Dog Island in search of their property and the woman who robbed them. Corney and Lisa flee the island, and criss-cross Florida in their attempt to find refuge. Betrayed by friends and an ex-Homeland Security officer, the couple realizes their only chance for survival is to fight back. About the Author: G. Thomas Gill is a well traveled adventurer.
