Life\u2019s roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spencer and his faithful Labrador retriever, Finn, continue their quest to reach his girlfriend, Kate, in Stuart, Florida, before she becomes another casualty of the chaos caused by the EMPs that have crippled the eastern seaboard and possibly the country.<\/p>\n

Leaving Marathon, Florida, in lawless turmoil behind them, Spencer, and his newly minted crew, consisting of Rob, Natalie, and their daughter Maya, soon realize the open ocean is no safe haven. With the potential for danger lurking behind every wave and conditions rivaling those found on shore, Spencer and the others are forced to fight for their survival on the high seas.<\/p>\n

As time runs out for Kate in Stuart, Spencer must overcome the odds that threaten to break his resolve and test his skills as a Coast Guard veteran in a race against the clock where he finds himself the de facto captain of the recently commandeered\u00a0Black Bird<\/span>. Success requires more than just a steady hand\u2014it demands a crew bound by trust and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make it through.<\/p>\n

Brutal storms, murderous pirates and desperate travelers fleeing the EMP ravaged coast, who seem more than willing to abandon all vestiges of civility, are only the beginnings of the challenges they will face together as a team. Can Spencer find a way to navigate the dangers ahead, bring his crew together, and reach Kate before it’s too late?\"Image<\/p>\n

Spencer and his loyal dog, Finn, along with their crew\u2014Rob, Natalie, and young daughter, Maya having barely survived the treacherous seas, discover that the dangers they left behind on the open ocean are nothing compared to what lies ahead.

With the safety of Spencer’s girlfriend, Kate, still uncertain, his resolve and training are tested more than ever. The crew must navigate through a landscape where survival depends not only on their strength but also on their wits and unity.<\/p>\n
