Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his team are sent on a mission to rescue an American doctor, Dr. Lena Kendricks, who is stranded in a war-torn region of Nigeria. However, when they arrive, Dr. Kendricks refuses to leave without the refugees she has been helping, and Waters is faced with a difficult decision: to follow his orders or to follow his conscience. As they navigate through the dangerous jungle, they must protect the refugees from the rebels who are pursuing them, while also confronting their own moral beliefs.
