A trained sailor, he leads diving excursions with his business partner, DobsTowe, and is in the Dominican Republic to marry a beautiful Latina heiress. A man with a little touch of cold feet, he plans to talk things over with his closest friends during a floating bachelor party -- but he soon finds himself facing a deadlier problem than a too-early marriage. Sailing near an unidentified island, Marcus soon learns that it's a secret research facility run by a Dr. Edwards --and that two of his friends may have been exposed to a deadly flesh-eating virus...LEAD (3)

Unconcerned with Porter's civil rights, Edwards treats him like a lab rat, tasering him whenever necessary to keep Porter pliable and submissive.
