Nathan West (Samuel L. Jackson), a devil instructor at the U.S. military training base known for his harshness, has always been very tense with his trainees due to his ruthlessness. Tom Hardy (John Travolta), a former student who also resented West, is now an official of the U.S. Drug Administration. The two were linked together by a mysterious disappearance. This bizarre disappearance in the Panamanian jungle caused six trainees and West to disappear without a trace after the hurricane. Hardy was ordered to work with military investigator Lieutenant Julia (Connie Nielsen) to investigate the matter. However, as the investigation unfolds, the confessions of the only two survivors, trainees Dunba (Brian Van Holt) and Kendall (Giovanni Ribisi), are very different. More and more lies and deceptions are gradually surfacing. Who is lying and what is the terrible truth behind it?
