On his second tour in a country torn apart by Civil War, Corporal Jack Slaughter of the Marine Corps starts to question his reasons for being there while his many unanswered questions regarding a Higher Power continue to haunt him. As he begins breaking in a new Lieutenant, the officer starts asking questions about the Corporals beliefs, and Slaughter's responses end up leading to more questions. Then, Jodi Weston, a missionary on her first solo trip to aid the Miskito Indians of the area enters Slaughter's life, and while he finds himself attracted to her and thinks that she's attracted to him, he can't get over what a good girl would want with someone like him. After getting to the point where he can begin to grow in his relationship with God and Jodi, Slaughter has to go on a high-risk rescue mission into one of the deadliest areas of the world. Here, the enemy is trying to capture him, but will settle for his dead body. Here, his faith will be tested to its limits.
