Full plot (contains spoilers)
Rachel Wild, a specialist in debt recovery, teams up with operatives Sid and Bronco to reclaim a $1 billion debt from billionaire Manny Salazar. After Salazar's initial negotiation fails and her mentor is killed, Rachel initiates a campaign of sabotage against Salazar's construction projects and oil rigs. She manages to impound his assets, leading to a confrontation on his island. While Sid and Bronco's team successfully protects her during an initial attack, the legal battle allows her to seize more of his empire. However, three months later, Rachel is abducted by Salazar. Sid and Bronco must then launch a rescue mission, navigating a series of dangerous environments including a booby-trapped banana plantation and a high-speed chase involving a helicopter. They eventually rescue her and deliver Salazar to the authorities in Miami. In the end, Rachel discovers that her own partner, Bobby Sheen, double-crossed her, and she leaves him to face the legal consequences of his actions.
