I'm the Pirate Queen

When Winnie Lynch loses a high-stakes maritime wager, Hank Smith forces his hardworking girlfriend to face the tiger sharks in her stead. Believing her stamina makes her expendable, he ignores her warnings and pushes her toward certain death for the sake of his true love. However, the arrogant crowd and Hank are unaware of a hidden truth. The two legendary pirate kings presiding over the execution were once students trained by the very woman they are now attempting to sacrifice.

"What are you waiting for? Which one of you is going into the shark tank?!" A man roared on the stage.

I looked at the vicious man on stage and let out a sigh. That was the infamous pirate captain, Captain Kaplan Levin. He was one of those brothers and I called him Tiger as his nickname.
