The Gail Force

Jake Travis, while trying to expose a corrupt Miami art dealer, goes undercover for the FBI. The gallery’s owner, Phillip Agatha, is more enchanted with murder than he is with art. Aboard Agatha’s luxury yacht, the Gail Force, Jake is taken with Agatha’s hospitality and falls for his alluring assistant, Christina, whom harbors her own secrets. Unknowingly, Jake plays into Agatha’s hands and initiates actions that will cause an innocent girl to die.

Ad Jake struggles to save the girl, unearth a rogue FBI agent, and bring Agatha to justice, his greatest challenge is to stay loyal to his girlfriend Kathleen—and to withstand the Gail Force.
