In the jungles of Guatemala, David Mingolla is struggling to survive among rotting vegetation and his despairing, drug-pumped fellow foot soldiers. He knows he is nothing but an expendable pawn in an endless, amoral war.

During some well-earned R&R he meets Debora - an enigmatic young woman who may be working for the enemy. David now finds himself a pawn of secret, ruthless forces lusting for world domination, and stumbles into a deadly psychic conflict where the mind is the greatest weapon.
