When The Kid takes a dock job at the waterfront, he's unknowingly caught up in a dangerous smuggling scheme—one that involves hiding a deported criminal named Servo in a shipping case bound for a warehouse rendezvous. As identities get swapped and plans go violently awry, The Kid finds himself trapped between ruthless dock bosses like Mike Garcia and Benny, and the very man he was meant to help escape. With guns drawn and tempers flaring on the teeming docks of the big city, survival becomes a matter of being in the right place—or the wrong one—at exactly the wrong time.

In 1066, King Harold of England confronted a dire two-front crisis: his rebel brother Earl Tostig and the Norwegian king Hadrada invaded from the north while Duke William of Normandy assembled a conquest fleet across the Channel.

Two Marines with two weeks of liberty and a scheme to reach Tokyo—Spike Dowdy and Bat Battingsley—end up commandeering an abandoned ship after a local promises them salvage money, only to discover their navigation skills are about as reliable as their ability to stay out of trouble. What should've been a quick voyage to see Georgette turns into a comedy of errors on the high seas, complete with a goat, a suspicious fog bank, and consequences neither leatherneck saw coming.
