Sweetwater

Victor Ostrovsky wants a new toy.

He also wants to be a billionaire.

He's getting close. His new factory in China has reached full production and he's got a second one planned. Added to his global manufacturing empire, they should catapult Ostrovsky into that elite club to which he has long aspired.

To celebrate, Ostrovsky decides to buy himself a superyacht. He asks Silicon Valley finance guru and fabled yachtsman Nick Marchetti for advice.

Ostrovsky and Marchetti get together for coffee at a San Francisco marina, a meeting by chance observed by one of drug kingpin Rick Varga's henchmen. His report to Varga, who controls the majority of drug smuggling on the West Coast for the Mexican cartels, triggers a series of events that drags Marchetti and his young friend, private investigator Joe Brink, into a mob war with Varga's ruthless gang.

It's a war based on erroneous assumptions, misunderstandings, and old grievances. A war Marchetti and Brink have no business being in. Yet however mistakenly started, this war is no less deadly. The carnage increases as the final battle unfolds and Joe Brink fights for his life in the frigid waters of the Pacific Ocean outside the Golden Gate.
