Synopsis

Captain Silas Pike and several members from his crew find themselves on the shores of West Africa, in search of the mysterious tribal holy man Kum, who has haunted his dreams since the brutal death of his fiancé, Francine Adams. But he finds himself and his crew less than welcome as hostile natives suddenly surround them. Pike’s obsession to destroy the murdering pirate Jackal has brought him to Africa to ask Kum to awaken an ancient power to restore the spirit of his beloved Francine and place it into the figurehead carved in her image. Silas plans to use the wooden woman to serve his wrath to the pirates, but vengeance comes at a price and Silas’s lust for revenge may cost him more than he can pay. Three centuries later, aboard the replicated Avenger, the figurehead has reached her destination, and the ship sits over the resting place of her Captain and his ship, the original Avenger. But thieves and hired guns have also arrived to steal the treasure and to eliminate those on board. Francine calls out to her long-lost Silas, and he hears her. She summons him from the depths to rejoin her, and to fight against their enemies. But she will soon realize that time changes everything, and not everything is the same as it once was…including her Silas. Her decision to call him may have doomed them all.
