In the dead of night, five contractors employed by the US-based company Blackshear Security, are abducted from their compound by terrorist in the newly found country of Rhanganda. With the Rhagandan government's unwillingness to help, the US dispatches and elite covert rescue team to the location. A few hours before executing their mission near the capital city of Baazhan, Lieutenant Commander Mark Gavin inadvertently intercepts radio chatter on a secured US proprietary frequency. The mysterious broadcast revealed the existence of a second team operating in the same area. Before he can solve this mystery or rescue the hostages, his team is ambushed. All of his men are killed. After being left for dead and disavowed, he gets help from a local operative and his wife who finds him and nursed back to health. He soon learns that the hostages were voluntarily released with no reason given. His connection to mission headquarters had been severed. He began to question why his men killed and by whom. Who dispatched the second team and why? Was there somehow a connection? His new mission now was to find the answers.
