When Rear Adm. James Terrance Hurst goes missing, agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in all of the primary offices in the state of California are dispatched to find the naval officer. Admiral Hurst is suspected of being corrupt because of the expensive jewelry and boat he has showed off to friends and family in recent months. His family, which includes his niece Lane and her new husband, Dillon, are concerned about the time it is taking the authorities to find the admiral. Hurst’s sister, Martha, Lane’s mother, is also worried.
While the authorities investigate Hurst’s case, Dillon conducts his own investigation. Since he and Lane were stranded on the US Navy–owned island, San Clemente, Dillon has questioned the word of Uncle James and other naval officials who claimed a young man who died on the island was killed by a shark instead of the big cat Dillon believed he heard while he and his wife were there.
During the investigation, it is revealed that Congressman Joshua Jackson and other high-ranking military officials have been hunting endangered animals on the island. Dillon follows a trail of clues to find answers to the disturbing mystery. When Special Agent in Charge Walt Simmons becomes aware of incriminating photographs that feature the missing Admiral Hurst and his military buddies with a dead jaguar, he plans a strategy to bring the prominent men down.
