When normally mild mannered salary man Rokuro Okajima gets intercepted by a band of sea-faring, heavily armed mercenaries on his way to deliver a computer disk for his company, he soon discovers that he's just kissed his boring, cubicle-bound life goodbye.

Abandoned by his employers, Rokuro becomes "Rock" and ends up joining the crew of the Black Lagoon, a World War II torpedo boat that's the home of Revy, Dutch and Benny: a mismatched crew of couriers for hire who'll deliver or intercept anything for the right price. The Russian mob? The Chinese Triad? Columbian drug cartels? No problem. It's just another day at the office for the crew of the Black Lagoon.
