Risking it all in ‘Extortion’

Playing the survival game, a family vacation turns into a race for survival in Extortion starring Eion Bailey, Academy Award® nominee Barkhad Abdi, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Danny Glover.

Extortion brings the action at a Caribbean resort where Kevin Riley (Bailey) and his family take a carefree boat ride that turns tragic when they’re stranded on an island. Near death, a local fisherman (Abdi) who demands a million dollars to rescue them, then vanishes. Riley must race to find his dying wife (Bethany Joy Lenz) and son on an unknown island before their time runs out. 

Also starring Danny Glover, the movie shows that even paradise can be deadly.

Extortion opens in cinemas nationwide on May 17 from OctoArts Films International.
