John Bridges, a deep-sea diver working in South-East Asia, places a long overdue call home. His younger brother, Martin, was discovered in a bathtub after overdosing on heroin. Grief turns into rage, and rage into a need for revenge. John sets sail from Japan to Hong Kong on his 29-foot sailboat, the Freewind. Typhoon Nina is oncoming. Days later, exhausted and injured, John is detained at gunpoint off the coast of Taiwan by the Taiwanese Navy, interrogated in the port of Suao, and towed back out to sea and set adrift as the typhoon grows closer.
A passing cargo ship, loaded in the same port as John's interrogation, stops, lowers its ladder, and the captain with megaphone in hand tells John to swim for the ladder.
John asks for a tow: he needs the Freewind in Hong Kong. The captain reluctantly agrees but warns that the sailboat could capsize. John accepts the risk, and the tow begins. They endure a harrowing journey through waves as tall as the Freewind's mast before reaching Hong Kong. There, John creates a ruse of being a small-time gold smuggler, then flies to Manila. After months of searching for a drug-smuggling operation, he finds a sponsor who brings him into a syndicate run by the 14K Triad, the world's largest and most notorious crime syndicate. His sponsor, Roberto Baptista, becomes his smuggling partner and plans to murder John once they make delivery and keep the payment plus the yacht. For now, John needs a larger boat to carry out his plan: become a heroin smuggler and destroy the syndicate from within.
