Synopsis

‘Djibouti was the 21st century Wild West. Former Russian Spetsnaz, US Navy Seals and British SAS all descended on the small African nation looking for action and a large chunk of cash. We rocked up in an 80-foot gunboat. That got everyone’s attention.’ ~ Dom Mee

When the ruthless Garaad pioneers multi-million dollar ransoms, pirates are hijacking a ship every week. Western navies make grandiose statements and deploy warships yet do nothing to stem attacks. Ship owners know it’s time to find a more robust solution.

After seeing maritime explorer Dom Mee’s exploits on TV, a mysterious billionaire asks Dom to protect his ships. With no money, Dom procures an old Navy gunboat, hustles together a band of former commandos and heads to the Indian Ocean.

Within a year of arriving in the pirate-infested region, Dom becomes the kingpin of anti-piracy, playing a deadly game on the high seas with the infamous Garaad.

Dom’s methods may be brutal, yet to beat the contagion of piracy, every antidote needs the disease.
