A London-based ship broker agrees to hijack an oil tanker which puts him in the spotlight of an international oil embargo against cocaine-exporting Portolina as it tries to crush a Communist rebellion.
Time & Space:
The opening act takes place in Italy in 1944. The rest of the story unravels between London, Curacao, the Caribbean Sea and the fictional country of Portolina in 1976.
"Production companies should find a story here that is nuanced and layered, that offers countless actor opportunities, and that could easily appeal to a target audience with the right marketing."
The Blacklist
"The third act is where this script really finds its footing. It's explosive, a heartpounder that's full of high-stakes action. "
