Macho fishing boat owner and 'captain' Baker Dill, assumed name of a decorated Iraq veteran actually called Ray, supplements his income in kind by renting it to tourists on quiet (fictious) Plymouth Island, Florida, and even earns cash for his exploits in the bed of nymphomaniac client Constance. he is is however tormented by the memories of, and a weird psychosomatic link with his smart, equally fishing-obsessed kid son Patrick. who lives as unhappy recluse with Ray's ex-partner Karen and her abusive tycoon partner Frank Zariakas. His obsession with catching at all costs a huge yellow tuna fish takes a backseat after Karen arrives, to hire the boat and him for a fishing trip, during which she wants him to 'accidentally' drown Frank. Rya reconsiders his initial refusal after sex with her and a mind-shattering meeting with a weird, suited character who insists to represent a game constituting most of what Ray and his fellow islanders considers reality, the rules of which are being changed drastically, and so does Plymouth reality, with parallel consequences.—KGF Vissers
