A notorious terrorist and his rag-tag army intend to shoot down civilian airliners. Citizen-spy Bret Lee gets recruited to find the rebel leader and shut him down. Word among spook circles is that the guerrillas want to buy ten surface-to-air missiles, and are on the lookout for a willing supplier. Known illegal arms sources won't risk the sale. Contriving to attract the terrorist leader's attention, Bret play-acts as a rich playboy arms dealer, gambling in Monte Carlo, Macao and South Africa casinos, waiting to "be found" as a potential supplier. Bret's wife, Chu-lin, plays the logistics and social media role for the gambit back in the states, while Zhu, her brother, joins the field mission as well, acting as Bret's bodyguard. Bret and Zhu are eventually escorted to the army's jungle hideout in the Central African Republic for a missile demonstration. The terrorists' end may be near if Seal Team 7 and the Green Berets have their way.
