Afghanistan. Army Captain Enea De Santis (Raoul Bova) is a skilled soldier in command of an elite unit. During a stakeout to watch a suspect, the unit is attacked, leaving them with no contact and suffering significant losses. Enea and the rest of his men hide out in a cave as they are accused of desertion.

Enea and his men manage to leave Afghanistan and arrive in Italy with the hope of finding a way to exonerate themselves. They get to a secluded clearing where the team are set to meet with Emma Borghi and some AMIS agents - but then they are unexpectedly targeted by a sniper.

Dorrico has disappeared without a trace. Enea, Samira and Fedora are at his mercy and being held prisoner in a villa on the outskirts of Rome. Samira is afraid for her little Fedora; Enea comforts her and tells her not to give up now.
