This film is based on an incredible true story. After rescuing a little boy from a brutal child trafficking crime, federal agent Tim Ballard (Jim Caviezel) learned that the boy's sister was also kidnapped. He decided to take the risk to rescue her, but the government could not send troops to other countries' territories. Time was running out, so Tim quit his job and went deep into the Colombian jungle to take risks, vowing to rescue the girl from a fate worse than death.
