Al aceptar el trabajo inseguro y peligroso que le ofrece aquella rubia impresionante de aspecto nórdico, Manning sabe que se juega la vida; y a los pocos días tiene la seguridad de que sus patrones, una banda de gángsteres, están dispuestos a matarle en cuanto deje de serles útil. Y todo ello a cambio de la remota posibilidad de convertirse en propietario del balandro en el que navegan por el Golfo de México y, tal vez, del amor de una mujer.
