Deep undercover in James' organization, Michael unintentionally loses contact with the CIA, as his first assignment for James sees him working to complete Burke's unfinished mission, which involves exposing a corrupt Dominican drug enforcement official as a major drug smuggler. As time goes on, Michael becomes drawn to James' ethos, so his friends track down a man James institutionalized after their time in the Delta Force to learn more about him. When the soldier meets Michael, he reveals a secret about an operation they did for the military that went bad, and Michael begins to realize that, despite his high ideals, James is incredibly dangerous.
