Ex-Marine Lt. Robin Duncan contracts for a job as a language interpreter with Ares Solutions, a company run by Trevor Mulroney. She's worked for them on several occasions, and this money is just what she needs for her niece's operation. She's excited about returning to Africa, close to where she spent time as a child. At a border crossing into the Congo, she is reunited with a former Marine she knew in Afghanistan, Dr. Michael Stewart. There was more than a passing friendship between the two, and Robin is not sure about her feelings now. She learns he will be just a short distance from her base camp in the Ituri Rainforest, so their paths will cross often.

As Robin begins this special-op, designed to take out a menacing resurgent killer and restore transport operations at a mine owned by Mulroney, she soon realizes all may not be aboveboard here. What seems to be good may be evil, and what seems to be evil may be good. As Robin gets caught up in trying to sort out what and who is good or evil, she learns there is something here infinitely more valuable than their stated mission. Her very life may be threatened by the situation. Is their stated mission the real purpose here? And will she ever return to her sister and beloved niece?
