A contented Pops is enjoying retirement from the service and the organization, living comfortably on the money he and the Crew recovered while on their last mission. His personal life couldn’t be better but he knows he is overdue in proposing to Kelly who lives with him and is the only person he has allowed into his life since the death of his first wife. Then out of nowhere he receives a call from Cowboy, one of his closest Crewmates, who tells him the Crew is working a job that isn’t going well. They need his help.
Against Kelly’s wishes, he agrees to lend a hand and finds himself entangled in a kidnapping case on a jungle island off the coast of Central America. A sadistic and vicious rebel army on the island, led by a renegade general, is holding a rich American who they say will be released once they receive a ransom of several million dollars. The Crew has been hired by the man’s wife to find and return her kidnapped husband before he is murdered, and maybe dish out some of their own payback along the way.
Pops finds that things are never as simple as they initially appear when a seemingly straight forward kidnapping case takes some weird twists and turns. As fate would have it, he has some life changing events which Kelly had prophetically pronounced before he left, “Something will go wrong this time. I have a feeling about this one . . .”
Pops finds himself pitted against the rebel army, struggling to stay alive while still trying to free the kidnapped man. As he dances with the grim reaper he finds himself longing for a second chance at life to make up for his mistakes. A second chance to be a better friend to his Crewmates and foremost, a second chance with Kelly.
