When old war buddy Mike Alexander reunites with Dr. James Curtis aboard his yacht, the Black Jack, their plans to fund a tropical disease laboratory take a dark turn after the cargo steamer Chalcis goes down with all hands—or so it seems. As Mike and the grieving Ingrid Denker search for survivors, secrets about the wreck threaten to destroy the fragile connection growing between them, while the wealthy Mrs. Williams pulls strings from the shadows with her own dangerous agenda.
