Ukraine. A simmering cauldron of old hatreds between Russia and the West. Separatist rebels have an unlimited supply of guns, and the land is ripped apart by rival factions fighting for supremacy. This is a land where brother kills brother, and women can only watch and weep while a Russian invasion threatens.

On the other side of the Atlantic, a charitable foundation in New York City, established by Alexander Dragan, a mysterious Ukrainian philanthropist. A man who harbors a bitter longing for vengeance. Dragan wants revenge for his family, murdered by two Russians during the uprising in Crimea. The killers have gone unpunished, and now he wants them dead. He recruits troubled former SEAL John Raider, bedeviled by legal troubles, to work for him. The mission - to lead a team of former Special Forces operators into the country and take out the two killers. In return, Dragan will make Raider's problems go away.

Outnumbered and outgunned, the team fights desperately to survive against overwhelming odds inside the chaotic country. Yet the operation hits a further complication. Raider discovers a devastating secret, a plan to plunge Europe into a new and bloody war. The clock is already ticking, counting down to zero hour. The only chance to stop it is to put their lives on the line in a desperate life or death gamble.
