A drug sale between two mob families near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, goes terribly awry. The diamonds to be used as payment are lost in a plane crash in Kure Beach, North Carolina.

Steve, along with local law enforcement, is also trying to discover who killed one of the rescuers at the crash site. Meanwhile, a local man named David Jennings unwittingly recovers the diamonds.
