Keď padne demokratický režim v Nigérii a moci sa chopí bezohľadný vojenský diktátor, dostane ostrieľaný veterán námornej pechoty A. K. Waters zdanlivo rutinnú úlohu - zachránit z krajiny členku organizácie "Doktori bez hraníc", Dr. Lenu Kendricksovú, ktorá sa stará o obete zúriacej občianskej vojny v odľahlej dedine. Lekárka je ochotná opustiť dedinu len pod podmienkou, že sa Watersovi muži postarajú o prevoz dedinčanov na blízku hranicu. Ak by boli zanechaní napospas osudu, čoskoro by padli za obeť početnej armáde rebelov. Vojaci sú ochotní vystaviť sa najvyššiemu riziku a odprevadiť dedinčanov cez hustú džungľu. Avšak stoja pred neľahkým rozhodnutím, či je život jedného muža cennejší než životy ich samotných a ostatných utečencov, ktorých záchranu považujú za svoju morálnu povinnosť.
