Born on September 3, 1984, in Roseau, Minnesota, Garrett Hedlund is an American actor and musician who transitioned from a childhood on a remote cattle farm to Hollywood stardom within weeks of moving to Los Angeles at age 18. He made a high-profile debut as Patroclus in the 2004 epic Troy and quickly built a diverse filmography with roles in Friday Night Lights, Four Brothers, and the sci-fi blockbuster Tron: Legacy. Beyond mainstream hits, Hedlund has earned critical acclaim for more nuanced performances in independent and prestige films such as On the Road, Inside Llewyn Davis, and the Oscar-nominated Mudbound. A talented vocalist and guitarist, he performed his own songs in the film Country Strong and continues to balance acting with music, recently appearing in the series Tulsa King and Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
The story follows a team of pirate mercenaries known as the Lagoon Company, that smuggles goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 1990s.[4] Their base of operations is located in the fictional harbor city of Roanapur in east Thailand near the border of Cambodia (somewhere in the Amphoe Mueang Trat district, likely on the mainland north/northeast of the Ko Chang island or on the island itself).[5] The city is home to the Japanese Yakuza, the Chinese Triad, the Russian mafia, the Colombian cartel, the Italian mafia, a wide assortment of pickpockets, thugs, mercenaries, thieves, prostitutes, assassins, and gunmen. The city also has a large Vietnamese refugee population following the Vietnamese refugees exodus after the Communist takeover of Vietnam in 1975. Lagoon Company transports goods for various clients in the American made 80-foot (24 m) Elco-type PT boat Black Lagoon. It has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions—which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles—in various Southeast Asian locations, even going as far as Phu Quoc island of Vietnam. When they are not working, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur which is often destroyed in firefights.
