  When gentle journalist Nick Madrid s foray into stunt work on a low-budget pirate movie finds him fighting for his life with modern-day pirates (their motto: shoot first, you won t need to ask questions later ), equally ruthless salvage divers (intent on looting the loot from the sunken ship of the notorious Captain Kidd), and a whole host of dangerous watery creatures, walking the plank suddenly seems like the best option. Nick and his best friend, Bridget are in the West Indies working on Blackheart, a musical film biography of the notorious, mass-murdering, raping, and pillaging pirate Blackbeard. But with the frankly oddball cast and the impossible pairing of low budget with film made on water, it doesn t take long for their movie stardom ambitions to flounder. If the unfortunate Nick didn t already have enough to deal with, he and Bridget become shipwrecked on an island with the sole surviving member of the gone horribly, horribly wrong Survivor-like TV game show, Cast Adrift. Faced with their biggest danger to date and no way of escape, could this be the end of the intrepid duo?
