When tabloid writer Jude Johnstone catches up with him in a Miami penthouse, Howard buys his silence by hiring him to purchase a Caribbean island. It is the same island where a teenager claiming to be Howard's son lives. And for Jude, there's a catch. Billy, a teenager, is involved in a plot of to overthrow the corrupt regime of neighboring Union Island. But even with a million bucks from Howard as potential payment, can Jude aid the resisting council of Union Island to overthrow their newly elected governor Frolonzo, confirm that Billy is Howard's son, and write the story of the coup Howard's way? What follows is as unpredictable as real life in this adventure where the only cameras rolling are your own, and where, if you fail to beat the opposing tribe, you're shark food!
