What begins as a dream family vacation in the Caribbean quickly spirals into a nightmare of survival. Kevin Riley (Eion Bailey), his wife Julie (Bethany Joy Lenz), and their young son embark on a boat trip to explore a remote island. But when their vessel breaks down, leaving them stranded under the punishing sun, their desperate search for rescue takes a dark turn.

Help finally arrives in the form of a mysterious local fisherman, Miguel (Barkhad Abdi)—but his kindness comes at a brutal cost. Demanding an impossible ransom, Miguel holds Kevin’s family hostage, forcing him into a harrowing race against time across unforgiving waters and corrupt systems.

With no allies, no way home, and the lives of his loved ones hanging in the balance, Kevin must push beyond fear and morality, transforming from a desperate tourist into a man willing to risk everything.

 Tense, emotional, and unrelenting, Extortion (2017) is a gripping thriller about survival, sacrifice, and the darkness that surfaces when desperation meets cruelty.
