Sergeant Jake Chandler (Steven Seagal), an expert sniper, joins Sergeant Vic Mosby (Tim Abell) with the Delta Force during an overwatch mission to extract an American Congressman who is being held by the Taliban in a remote Afghan village.

In addition to the munitions, Tyler also has a woman and child, who are revealed to be the last surviving members of the local Taliban leader's family.

During this, Rich has developed a fever and his slowly dying, causing Chandler to call in a risky evacuation.
