Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his elite squadron of tactical
specialists are forced to choose between their duty and their humanity,
between following orders by ignoring the conflict that surrounds them, or
finding the courage to follow their conscience and protect a group of innocent
refugees. When the democratic government of Nigeria collapses and the
country is taken over by a ruthless military dictator, Waters, a fiercely loyal
and hardened veteran is dispatched on a routine mission to retrieve a
Doctors Without Borders physician, Dr. Lena Kendricks. Dr. Kendricks, an
American citizen by marriage, is tending to the victims of the ongoing civil
war at a Catholic mission in a remote village. When Waters arrives, however,
Dr. Kendricks refuses to leave unless he promises to help deliver the
villagers to political asylum at the nearby border. If they are left behind, they
will be at the mercy of the enormous rebel army. Waters is under strict
orders from his commanding officer Captain Bill Rhodes to remain
disengaged from the conflict. But as he and his men witness the brutality of
the rebels first-hand, they are won over to Dr. Kendricks` cause and place
their lives at risk by agreeing to escort the villagers on a perilous trek through
the dense jungle. As they move through the countryside on foot, Waters'
team, experts at evasion and concealment, are inexplicably and ferociously
pursued by an army of rebels. They are confounded until they discover that,
among the refugees, is the sole survivor of the country`s previous ruling
family, whom the rebels have been ordered to eliminate at all costs. Waters
and his small band of soldiers must weigh the life of one man against their
own and the refugees they feel obliged to protect.
