Griff Savage, former French Legionnaire, failed Buddhist monk, and laconic drifter, rolls into Key West, a Brit in a strange land. He's looking for answers about his brother Jake's death. Instead, he comes across a much more complicated story. 
 Jake's friends, the no-nonsense Nikki and the beautiful blonde Angie, are as confused as Griff. But they have secrets of their own. It's Key West, after all, and secrets are the stock in trade. 
 As Griff scours the Keys in search of the truth, his questions turn up an operation at the boatyard that's more than it seems, and a small family investigation blows up into a whole lot more. Drugs, guns, treasure... and dangerous men who will kill to keep it.
