Having just graduated from college in Las Vegas, LISA SUTTON signs on as a Missionary Intern with a Christian church located in a very remote
part of the Southern Philippines. Lisa, a missionary couple and a young man, MARTY STEELE, who is SCUBA diving in the
area are taken captive and held hostage by Moro terrorists of the Abu Sayyaf Group. The two missionaries are beheaded
and Lisa and Marty are held for ransom.
Marty's father, DOC STEELE, a retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer, is living as an expatriate in the Philippines.
Steel and his partner GUNS LARSON own a Manila supper club and take part-time work as mercenaries. Steele and Guns,
with the backing of Lisa's father, BIG BILL SUTTON, an Arizona rancher and businessman, plan and effect a rescue operation.
The rescuers destroy the terrorist camp and kill all but the leader of the group, OMAR ALI HASSAN. Steele is wounded during
the rescue effort and dies of his wounds shortly afterwards. Grief stricken, Steele's long time lady friend JOSEPHINA
AGULAR kills herself.
Marty and Guns inherit and run the supper
club until Marty who is a classically trained chef decides to return to the States and ask Lisa to join him in a restaurant
venture in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Ali Hassan, who was badly burned and crippled during the raid on his camp, has escaped to
Mindanao where he waits for his wounds to heal. While there he plans his revenge on all who were involved in his downfall.
While working together on the design and construction phase of their
restaurant project, Marty and Lisa fall in love and get married. The restaurant opens to rave reviews and becomes a
big success. Just when things couldn't get much better for them, the terrorist re-enters their lives. After blowing
up the supper club in Manila, killing everybody inside including Guns Larson, he travels to Las Vegas to finish his vendetta.
In
Las Vegas the terrorist and his associates stalk Marty and Lisa while they plan their murders as well as the destruction of a local landmark. Unknown
to the terrorists, their plot is discovered and the tables are turned. When the terrorists assault the remote Arizona
ranch belonging to Lisa's father, they fall into a trap and end up suffering an even worse fate than the one intended for
their victims.
