Když padne demokratický režim v Nigérii a moci se chopí bezohledný vojenský diktátor, dostane ostřílený veterán námořní pěchoty A. K. Waters zdánlivě rutinní úkol – zachránit ze země členku organizace „Doktoři bez hranic“, doktorku Lenu Kendricksovou, která se stará o oběti zuřící občanské války v odlehlé vesnici.

Avšak stojí před nelehkým rozhodnutím, zda je život jednoho muže cennější než životy jich samotných a ostatních uprchlíků, jejichž záchranu považují za svou morální povinnost.
