Two lost hikers get caught in a perilous situation as the tide rolls in, threatening to flood their only escape route. They are in a race against time and hypothermia as a Coast Guard aircrew races to find them in the dark of night. Meanwhile, in the Florida Keys, a Coast Guard boat crew responds to a person in the water call, only to find themselves rescuing an intoxicated man on a sinking vessel. The rescue quickly becomes a tense law enforcement situation when the man's demeanor shifts from gratitude to aggression. In the Eastern Pacific, a Coast Guard counterdrug team faces one of its most dangerous challenges yet, navigating the treacherous high seas at night to interdict a drug smuggling boat. When the suspects jettison their cargo into the ocean, the crew must rely on a different set of skills to find the missing evidence. This documentary follows these three missions, showing the complex reality of what it takes to protect people on the water.
