Almost Paradise

When an ex-DEA agent retires to a tranquil, out-of-the-way resort in the Philippines, he finds himself falling back into his undercover operative ways when he's pulled into a drug sting run by the local police department.

When the body of a friend of Detective Alamares washes up on a beach, Alex suspects the international smugglers who just checked in at the resort may be involved; while Ernesto tracks down the murderer, Alex goes under cover with Detective Kai.

When Alex discovers that a group of mobsters are shaking down street-food vendors, he goes undercover and realizes that the implications for the future of Cebu are far worse than he ever imagined.

When a crew for a reality TV show exploring sunken WWII battlegrounds arrives at the resort, Alex's need for rent money ensnares him in an illicit dive operation with potentially catastrophic consequences.

When a typhoon hits the island, criminals and their hostages become trapped inside the police station; Alex must find a way to save his friends as well as a sworn enemy.

Alex, feeling competitive, races to solve a murder before a celebrated detective can find the killer; things take a turn when Alex realizes the crime leads back to the murder of Kai's mother 15 years earlier.
