BONEFISH AND BARRACUDA (PLANNED)

Bonefish and Barracuda

Life in the Florida Keys was supposed to be a dream. For Benton and Shelly, it is. Shelly is masterfully managing the landscape at the iconic Cheeca Lodge, while Benton is juggling the demands of running Slammin’ Sammy’s Scuba Safari and learning the ropes as a boat captain. But the paradise is becoming crowded. They are surrounded by an unforgettable cast: Wayne, the seasoned "Captain Hook"; Garrett, a no-nonsense ex-Navy freighter captain who has little patience for tourists; Luka, a sharp-minded Croatian businessman; and Juan, a visionary new employee whose infectious ambition is matched only by the shadows of a past he is desperate to keep buried.

Benton is being pulled in every direction. Between the grueling demands of the dive shop and his burgeoning, high-demand career in IT, he is a rookie boss struggling to lead men with decades of experience on him. Juan is pushing him to gamble on new ventures, Wayne has found himself in deep water with a Cuban drug syndicate, and Garrett is ready to quit if he has to deal with one more difficult customer. Amidst the chaos, Shelly is fighting for a life outside of work, longing for time alone and a social circle of their own.

Then, the stakes skyrocket. A meeting with the Vice President of the United States thrusts them into a world far beyond the docks of the Keys. Filled with humor, grit, and lethal tension, Bonefish and Barracuda is a relentless ride through a landscape where the twists are as sharp as the reefs, and a dark past is always waiting to surface.
