Dr. Kevin Riley (Eion Bailey) sets out on a dream vacation in the Caribbean with his wife and young son. Renting a small motorboat, they explore a remote island paradise—until their boat breaks down, stranding them without food, water, or help.

After days under the scorching sun, a local fisherman, Miguel (Barkhad Abdi), appears—offering rescue. But his help comes with a deadly price. Miguel demands a ransom for the family’s safe return, and when Kevin can’t deliver fast enough, the situation spirals into a harrowing fight for survival. Left with nothing but desperation, Kevin must escape captivity, outwit his captors, and brave the unforgiving wild in a race against time to save his family.

Extortion (2017) is a nerve-wracking thriller that blends exotic beauty with raw human terror, reminding us that paradise can turn into a nightmare in an instant.
