Nearly twenty years later, there is a rash of grisly homicides that have the NYPD dumbfounded. Five of the original Special Forces members, now law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal levels, are called upon to form a special task force and given the task of solving these murders, as well as recovering top secret documents taken from the CIA itself. An intricate web of deceit with ties to Vietnam.
