Dark Current

The Louisiana bayou hides many secrets. Some are better left buried.

When widowed fisherman Raymond Mercer and his teenage son Eli stumble upon a sunken plane while fishing, they expect wreckage. What they find instead is millions in cartel cash—an unexpected fortune rotting beneath the swamp. Raymond insists they report it. Eli isn’t so sure.

But the moment the sheriff arrives, their lives are destroyed. Sheriff Calder is no hero—he’s a traitor. Instead of protecting them, he alerts the cartel. Now Raymond and Eli are marked for death.

With killers on their trail and no one left to trust, father and son flee into the maze of waterways they’ve always called home. The swamp becomes their battleground—alligators lurking below, storms raging above, and armed men hunting them from every side.

As greed poisons the community and blood stains the water, Raymond and Eli are forced to confront the hardest truths: about trust, sacrifice, and how far they’re willing to go to protect each other.

In the end, survival will demand more than courage. It will demand everything.

Dark Current is a relentless, edge-of-your-seat thriller where family bonds are tested against betrayal, nature, and the deadly currents of human greed.
