Synopsis

 

 

Pitch Points

A beautiful yacht sailing alone on an ocean in a balmy breeze, clear sky, and crystal clear blue water. A shapely and beautiful young woman in a teeny-weenie bikini. A young powerfully built American Indian. Both sitting in the cockpit sipping chilled white wine and munching on blue-cheese. The woman holds something captive in her two hands, she shakes her hands and casts out bones onto a nautical chart on the cockpit table. The bones scatter, but one mysteriously moves to point to a small lagoon.

They find a marina at the coordinates marked by the bone. Everyone in the marina community is unfriendly and unhappy. Among the population, a small war is going on between good and evil witches, which can only be settled by an outsider with extraordinary powers.
