[1] After the unexpected death of their infant, doctors Paul (C. Thomas Howell) and Kim Jordan (Anora Lyn) decide to leave America and travel to Thailand on a medical mission.
While they're adapting to their new life, Paul is kidnapped and taken to an isolated island by human traffickers, who need a doctor to save their wounded leader.
Paul is imprisoned with Englishman Malcolm Andrews (John Rhys-Davies), who is being held for ransom.
The two men quickly discover that their philosophies are polar opposites: Andrews is a highly spiritual man, while Paul is a strict atheist.
Paul later learns that he cannot save his kidnappers' leader without modern equipment, to which he has no access.
