When they are rescued water by a fishing trawler Kaya and Tessa are relieved as Xander was struck in the head by a jet ski. The rescue turns out to be a trap as Captain Rey and Doctor Hunt are traffickers looking to sell the organs of the injured Tessa and Xander on the black market along with Kaya as slave.
