Description ▲
When four physicians from the Doctors without Borders compound in Mogadishu, Somalia, are abducted by Al Qaeda, three are immediately executed by firing squad. The fourth, American doctor Robbie Rosen, is spared death only to endure weeks of torture. The terrorists reveal a plan that will force the doctor to either break his Hippocratic Oath and commit crimes against humanity or face certain death.After the doctor's family finds out that he is being held captive they implore the US Government to take action. When the government is slow-moving, the family appeals to popular actress, Lily Lockwood, who had once been romantically involved with Rosen, to use her celebrity to help the doctor.After Lily agrees, a retired C.I.A. Operative emerges and influences Lily to put herself in harm's way and finance a rescue initiative. He gathers together a group of Ex-Navy SEALs who, with Lily in tow, embark on the mission. When the team uncovers a deadly plot against the United States, they are forced into a heart-stopping race against time and must accept the possibility that they may already be too late.
