Plot summary
Santiago 'Pope' Garcia works as a private military advisor in Colombia, helping local police combat drug cartels. An informant named Yovanna asks him to help her and her brother leave the country and tells him where drug lord Gabriel Martín Lorea lives, in a remote jungle house holding $75 million in cash. Pope flies to Florida to recruit four former Delta Force teammates. Tom 'Redfly' Davis sells real estate, William 'Ironhead' Miller gives motivational talks, Ben Miller fights in mixed martial arts, and Francisco 'Catfish' Morales flies planes. Pope presents the job as government work, then talks the group into taking the money for themselves. The plan is to enter the house while Lorea's family is at church.
