Serenity (2019)
Baker Dill is a fishing boat captain living a quiet and sheltered life. He spends his days leading tours off a tranquil, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island and is obsessed with catching an evasive giant yellowfin tuna whom he calls “Justice”. One day, Dill’s ex-wife Karen tracks him down and begs him to save her and their young son Patrick from her new, powerful but violently abusive husband, Frank, offering Dill $10 million to murder him by throwing him overboard. She tells Dill that Frank will be arriving later in the week and that they have booked Dill for a fishing trip, the perfect opportunity for Dill to kill Frank.
Torn between his conscience and his desire to help Karen, Dill is thrust back into a life he had tried to forget, as his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems. It soon becomes apparent that Dill is a character in a computer game Patrick created, based on his father, John Mason, a U.S. Marine Corps Captain who was killed in Iraq in 2006. Patrick had based the character on a memory of his father taking him fishing when he was three years old. When Karen, a widow, remarried, Patrick introduced his mother and abusive step-father as new characters in the game, and changed Dill’s task from catching tuna to murdering his step-father.
