Former Navy SEAL Finn returns again, continuing his desperate search for the truth – who sabotaged his last mission and set him up to take the fall? And why can’t he remember? After escaping capture in Iceland, Finn has settled down to hide on a tiny island village off the coast of Puerto Rico. Bunking down in a small room behind a village eatery, he carefully researches his situation, while befriending his blind landlord and the man’s two young grandchildren, who have affectionately given Finn the nickname Mimo. Then, one afternoon, they don’t return home from their daily wandering.
As Finn sets out in search of the children, he quickly reviews and discards possible scenarios while he wanders the island looking for clues. He quickly comes to realize that the kids likely saw something they weren’t supposed to – cartels and the drug trade being rampant in the area – and were taken because of it. Despite his pressing need to stay hidden, he does his best to stir up the local cartel in hopes of gaining some information as to who may have them.
Meanwhile, Pedro & Miranda awaken to find themselves locked in a small room in a shack that abuts the El Yunque National Forest. Despite being young, they are smart, agile and resourceful, as their kidnappers are soon to find out – and they have learned a lot from watching their new friend, Mimo. With some quick thinking and a trick or two gleaned from their mentor, they manage to escape their captors and head into the forest.
But time is of the essence, as there’s a tropical storm that is steadily strengthening as it bears down on the island. And – unbeknownst to Finn – he’s not just stirred up a proverbial hornet’s nest with the local cartel and the mysterious and highly feared El Rucco – there are some new arrivals to the island as well. Their mission – to find and eliminate Finn…
