Wind is set in the world of competitive yacht racing, where a young sailor (Matthew Modine) is intent on winning the America's Cup, as well as regaining the affections of his ex-girlfriend (Jennifer Grey). As the film opens, Modine chooses to race the America's Cup instead of staying with Grey. She leaves him and his team loses the race, leaving him devastated. Modine tracks Grey down, finding her with a new boyfriend, who happens to be an engineer.

While visiting his Native American foster son Chester (Eddie Garcia) at an Arizona Indian reservation, Quincy (Jack Klugman) notices that the boy is showing symptoms of bubonic plague, a devastating illness that has already taken the life of his best friend. Quickly, Quincy alerts the local authorities in hopes of staving off a statewide epidemic. Unfortunately, those authorities are more concerned with an upcoming golf tournament at an expensive new country club called Paradise Palms--and they're willing to go to any lengths to avoid sacrificing the tourist trade to a medical emergency. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
