Plot:
Chris Faraday once smuggled illegal items or contraband into the country
on freighters. He left that life behind, got married, has a family and
went legit. But when his brother-in-law got involved with Briggs, a drug
dealer and when he blew a deal, Briggs demands restitution which he
can't deliver. So Chris offers to find a way to pay Briggs but then he
threatens Chris' family if he doesn't deliver. So he gets on a freighter
destined for Panama and he sets out to bring back some counterfeit
currency. Briggs "goes to see" Chris' family. When Chris learns of this
he asks his friend Sebastian to take care of them which he does. He
tells Chris that it would be better to bring drugs instead of the cash.

In New Orleans, the former smuggler Chris Faraday has regenerated and
raised a family of his own with his wife Kate and their two children.
Chris works in installation of alarms and his father is locked in prison
for smuggling. When his brother-in-law Andy dumps in the sea water 10
pounds of cocaine that he is smuggling for the drug lord Tim Briggs to
escape from the custom officers, Chris is forced to pay Andy's debts to
protect the youngster and his own family. Chris leaves his wife and
children under the protection of his best friend Sebastian Abney and
travels in a Container Carrier to Panama to bring counterfeit bills and
raise the money to pay Briggs. But Briggs and his partner want to force
Chris to smuggle drugs and will use his family to reach their objective.
Meanwhile Chris is betrayed and gets in trouble in Panama.
