The film begins with an intense scene set in a dense forest where a secret U.S Agent is navigating with a map and a glass of water in his hand. Suddenly, he is shot, igniting suspicions of an inside job within the government. Without this agent, the crucial package they aim to secure becomes unattainable, as he was the only one they fully trusted with the assignment.
