Below Mile ZeroBelow Mile Zero A thrilling tale of suspense, action, and humor. Told through the self-effacing, wry narrative of a sometime drifter with a bitter past and an uncertain future who is stranded in Key West. Through his eyes, we witness a clandestine smuggling operation and experience his fear and concern when people around him suddenly begin to die. Drawn deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of conspiracy and danger, there seems to be nowhere he can turn; no one he can trust. Events come to a climax amidst the thunder and fury of nature, as hurricane-force winds assault Florida's southernmost island. |
