Lieutenant Lynn Burton stands in an old shack in the Central highlands of Vietnam. What is she doing here? Her orders are to report to Base X, but nobody knows where Base X is. Suddenly tossed into a covert CIA operation, Lynn begins a terrifying race for survival. Sergeant Charles Reese has never gotten used to the fear that hangs in the pit of his stomach every time the alarm claxton sounds announcing a rescue mission. The fear starts the moment he races over the concrete runway to the waiting helicopter, and it grows in intensity as the sleek Jolly Green Giant rises into the air and races toward a rendezvous filled with danger, perhaps even death. Sent into Cambodia to rescue Lynn and a band of children from certain death by the hands of the Khmer Rouge, Charles finds Lynn and the children alone in the jungle, surrounded by enemy soldiers who are determined to destroy the children. Their only hope is to trek through miles of jungle teeming with enemy soldiers in an effort to reach safety.
