After his home is swarmed by federal officers, disreputable Miami businessman Carl Ridley (Bill Paxton) flees to the Cayman Islands with his daughter Pippa (Agnes Bruckner) and one million dollars in tow. Their path soon crosses those of Mr. Allen (Stephen Dillane), a shady British lawyer, and Fritz (Victor Rasuk), a local boy trying to avoid repaying a debt owed to a gangster. The emotional centre of the film, however, is the passionate, fraught relationship between Shy (Orlando Bloom), a British expat fisherman, and Andrea (Zoe Saldana), the daughter of a powerful local businessman. Their ill-fated affair meets first with the wrath of her brother, Hammer (Anthony Mackie), and subsequently with tragedy as long-smouldering anger, revenge and self-destruction flare up with the arrival of Carl and Pippa. Betrayals and desperate motivations ends in a terrible crime and, all too quickly, the tranquility of the island gives way to a traumatic, ominous sense that life there is changing forever.
