A former contract operative for the U.S. government is recalled to service for a hostage-rescue operation. The hostage, a long-lost friend of the former operative, has been taken captive in a Central American country and transported to a remote jungle encampment in South America. The guerrillas, allied with a small narcotrafficking cartel, use the hostage to bargain for release of bank accounts seized as part of a counter money-laundering program. The search-and-rescue operation brings together personnel from three countries and a joint-operations group composed of military and intelligence units. The operation also brings together old friends who have not seen each other in 20 years.
