Abyei, South Sudan.
BermaNur watches the UN aid relief workers with disgust. Luckily for them, this time his hunger outweighs his hatred for the Westerners...
In South Sudan starvation and genocide plague the lives of the Dinka and Nuer tribes-people.
Beneath their land lies extensive oil reserves - a valuable prize for those willing to battle to claim the mineral rights and and pay for their winnings in blood.
A tyrannical regime in Khartoum unleashes the Janjaweed, horseback-mounted Baggara tribesmen.
In response, the UN attempts a rescue mission. An Air Force C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft with 165 personnel is flown in. But the mission is riddled with corruption.
When the Janjaweed bring down a C-130 killing the commander and crew, the situation in Sudan reaches a crisis point.
Lieutenant Colonel David Orde Allston is brought in as the new commander.
But facing a web of corruption and a history of conflict, can Allston save the people caught in the crossfire?
As the situation spirals out of control, it will become a personal battle for survival...
