1992 The Soviets have fled Afghanistan. Dr. Derek Stillwater, a CIA expert on biological and chemical weapons, is sent into the country to find and identify what the Russians may have left behind - chemical weapons. Teamed with an Army general and an Israeli Mossad agent, the three find themselves caught in a country with no government, torn apart by war, being fought over by ruthless warlords and mujahideen.
Caught between battling warlords and face-to-face with a religious zealot known as the Sheik, it is everything Derek can do to find the evidence of chemical weapons and escape Afghanistan alive.
