description: Sam Connelly, a businessman in need of a vacation, plans his sailing expedition in the Gulf of Mexico with a destination of the tropical paradise of the Bahamas. But Sam and his shipmates never reach their destination. Instead, as the result of a rescue at sea of a young native-American family, they find themselves in a race against time to find a cure for an ailing young boy, and quite possibly, all of the sick children of the world. Sam and his friends battle fierce storms and the sea's deadliest predators during their search. But unknown to them, they're pursued by a madman who also wants to find the fabled treasure and exploit it for his own personal gain, and he doesn't care how many people have to die in the process.
