Naval intelligence agents working the most dangerous beat in the world—the narco-state of Panama in the late 1980s—struggle to penetrate the dictator’s organization and protect their families on the eve of invasion. Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.

The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. A Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts the agent’s family, informants, and fellow agents directly in harm’s way.
