Plot
Detectives Larry and David are searching for a missing singer in an abandoned trailer park when David is shot at twice and his cellphone takes the bullet that had been headed for his heart. David kills the kidnapper. Then a man, Kevin, comes and tells him that he is taking the singer on a yacht for a few days. The cops finagle an invitation onto the yacht; Kevin is a suspect of other crimes, but their boss has nothing on him.
The detectives take their wives along on the yacht, telling them it's a vacation. On the yacht, David's boss calls and tells him that the kidnapper had a picture of him siting beside Kevin. David's wife Lori argues with him because he isn't paying attention to her. He asked Kevin about the photo, but he just blew him off as the guy was just trying to get close to the glitz and glamour.
Lori is in her room with Larry's wife Suzette. They talk about how Jesus can give peace, which Lori states that she wants. Lori then asks God into her life and is saved. The next day she's upbeat, and when Larry and Sue visit an island, Lori and David stay behind and have a picnic, and she tells him she loves him. He asks what has gotten into her and gets the "that's for me to know and you to find out" treatment. He says he wants to rest after their picnic, so she says she wants to look for seashells. He closes his eyes, and when he wakes up, Lori, Suzette, and Larry have disappeared.
