Overview
For Capt. Robert John Evans, smuggling black-market goods is nothing out of the ordinary.

The job seems challenging enough, but when he meets the prisoner's sultry wife, Sylvia, he realizes his mission comes with a startling catch: Not only must he rescue this man, he must bring him back from the dead.
