As he enjoys the fruits of his labor he is disturbed to learn that the world of casino gambling has cast its eye on the country he now calls his home. A consortium from Las Vegas visits Grand Cayman where gambling is illegal and Joe observes as the wheels of politics lubricated by lust and cash threaten to turn this tranquil place into yet another gambling Mecca. After witnessing the attempted suicide of a close family member who is involved in negotiations with the consortium Joe suspects that they are ruthlessly determined to have their way at any cost. He goes to Vegas in a desperate attempt to hamper their efforts and on the way he meets young Bobby a streetwise hooker whose toughness becomes invaluable to Joe's mission as he comes face to face with demons that almost destroyed him as a young man.
