GENRE: Action, Adventure
LOGLINE: After an incident involving the capture of American hostages, Mac must travel to the country of Georgia with his team of mercenaries in a rescue attempt and set out to uncover the truth behind a segment of the UN infiltrated by a rogue group of the Russian military.

SYNOPSIS:

The plot starts with a group of CIA operatives disguised as telecom workers (unknown to the viewer), working on a tower near a UN base. This is an element of the UN that has been infiltrated by a rogue group of Russian military. They kill one of the CIA operatives and take the others hostage. Mac wakes to a phone call informing him that he is being pulled back in for a rescue mission. He and his wife Sandy fight about his job, but he promises, upon his return, he will tell her everything. Mac leaves to join his team. At an airfield, Mac joins the rest of his team. They initially balk at the idea of Steve joining their mission, but Dennis shuts down any arguments. Mac uses the time in the air to write a letter to Sandy. He leaves it with Tim for safe keeping. They are dropped in by helicopter in a remote section of the country of Georgia. They find the building where the hostages are being kept, and tactically storm it, successfully retrieving the CIA operatives. Mac gets caught in a blast, and has to fight his way out of the facility solo. On his way he rescues three doctors that have been taken hostage as well. Eventually, he rejoins his team and they convene on an escape plan after being informed that they are being put out into the cold and cannot depend on CPS for extraction. Meanwhile, at home, Sandy sees a news broadcast reporting on a rogue terrorist operation headed by Americans- essentially, putting Mac and his team on the outside of the law and on their own. As the story progresses, the team suffers losses, and the apparent loss of Mac as he sacrifices his ability to escape so that the remaining team can get to safety. Once safe on the USS Ronald Reagan, the team mounts a rescue operation with a Seal Team led by a friend of Mac's. The Seal Team also has ANDREW, Mac's son as a member. They mount a successful rescue operation, and take down one of the leaders of the rogue UN group in the process. During the rescue operation, the team was able to disseminate information that cleared their names and exposed the corrupted element in the UN. At the closing, Mac and Sandy come to an understanding about his occupation. As they talk a news broadcast reports on nuclear weapons testing in North Korea, and Sandy let's Mac know that she's good with him doing whatever he wants to do. She's in it with him.
