The new revolutionary government wants to pick up the pieces and build a better future for its people, but the newly elected president in Washington D.C. is not about to let a ragtag bunch of communists supported by Fidel Castro exist, let alone flourish. He orders the CIA to get in there and get it right this time, no more screw-ups like in Vietnam, send in American veterans to retrain the fragmented Guardia Nacional driven from the country.Battered by economic woes and loss of his family to another man, decorated veteran Danny Blaine can find no other way to reclaim his dignity than to accept the CIA offer to train the Guardia Nacional, now euphemistically called Freedom Fighters.The first woman to join the Sandinista rebels in mountains to overthrow the tyrannical president of Nicaragua, Violet Chavera becomes the highest ranking woman in the post-revolutionary army, locked in never-ending battles against an enemy crossing her country's borders.

That is, until the ex-marine, Danny Blaine, arrives at the border, and then events turn against her.Facing a treason charge after the total destruction of her troops by the American mercenary, the disgraced heroine becomes the perfect scapegoat for political enemies.
