Danny Summers is a film technician working in Hollywood. He is a Vietnam veteran officer who was assigned to film the war for network news during the mid-sixties. While working on a film set, he is contacted by a U.S. Senator who offers him a deal to go to Myanmar and offer a powerful drug lord millions of dollars to burn the year's opium crop. Danny's team ventures into Myanmar as a film crew to present the proposal. The project itself is dangerous, and it also has become a thorn in the side of the U.S. drug agencies. Both the CIA and DEA have concerns that the project could expose their culpability in the growth of drug trafficking due to their activities in arming the population during the Vietnam conflict. The team stealthily embarks on their journey. The government agencies, however, are following their every move to make sure the Senator's objective is never completed. If they succeed, they could destroy one-fifth of the heroin in the world's market. If they fail, they could all be destroyed.
