In a last-ditch attempt to save the company, its members journey south to Central America in hopes of winning a long-term firefighting contract from a local government. Shortly after they arrive, however, they become embroiled in an uprising engineered by ruthless druglords intent on replacing the democratically-elected government with one of their own.
