Retired DEA Special Agent Von Crocker and his wife are already in dire financial straits when they make the fateful decision to gamble their last two hundred dollars at a casino. Now on the fringe of bankruptcy, Von Crocker has no choice but to accept an offer to become a government contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan.
