A man by the name of Giles Hope has the Gibsons marina behind fencing and around the clock security protection. Apparently, a now absent Smitty lost the marina in a Reno casino bet, Hope, on behalf of the casino, who is the new owner and thus landlord. He will only provide access to the marina and the boats moored there to those people who were not in arrears to Smitty. The problem is that Smitty's records are spotty. As the police, John is allowed access. Nick, Jesse, Pat and Jack are among those not permitted access. And Relic is still in his shack, meaning that he is behind the fencing, and conversely cannot get out without giving up his right to return. Further, Hope plans on selling the boats belonging to those in arrears to recoup those outstanding debts. The problem for Nick is that his payment in full records are on his boat. As such, he plans on stealing his boat. He has many problems in carrying out this plan. First, John cannot find out as it would place him between a rock and a hard place. Second, Sam wants to do whatever he can to help, and does whatever he can to help against the wishes of the adult figures in his life. If Sam is able to accomplish what he wants, it would place a strain between Nick and Dana. And third, Nick's plan requires the assistance of Relic, which more often than not cannot be counted upon. Nick is hoping that Relic will agree to help if Nick also steals his boat, which means that Hope can't sell it. What Nick is unaware of is that Relic has his own plan which may be incompatible with Nick's own.
