Christina Preston, a young American exchange student is kidnapped
in Santa Marta - the historic capital of Magdalena, Colombia while
pursuing a degree in environmental studies at a prestigious
university. In typical youthful passion and defiance, Christina
went to Colombia against the advice of her dad - Texas billionaire,
Mike Preston. Her dream of becoming a research scientist was
shattered on a cloudy, overcast and chilly October morning, when
masked gunmen stormed the university tour bus, en route to Quinta
de San Pedro Alejandrino. Mike Preston is devastated when he learns
of his daughter's fate. Preston does what any caring father would
do. He hires a retired United States Navy Seal, John Bradley to
find Christina. In utter desperation, Preston also seeks assistance
from a highly influential figure in Washington, imploring him to
exert pressure on the Colombian authorities. Bradley gave Preston a
commitment to free Christina and make her captors pay a heavy price
for the pain and anguish. He heads to Colombia, travelling through
dense jungle terrain and treacherous swamps. Along the way, he
encounters huge venomous snakes and other hazards. A fisherman from
Taganga Bay accepts Bradley's money in exchange for a midnight
rendezvous near a secluded cove, notorious for pirates and drug
dealers. Bradley's efforts to find Christina are frustrated by a
sinister twist - Rebel guerrilla fighters have infiltrated the
upper echelons of a key military establishment. And while Christina
languishes somewhere in the impregnable forest of the Sierra
Nevada; her dad waits anxiously for news from the South American
mainland.
