Everyone knows how the Trojan War ended: with a bunch of guys piling out of a giant horse. But the events of the war itself have been debated extensively, and the actual truth is still largely unknown. All we have to go on is myth.

Poachers are killing the rare Gorillas of Congo, and they are paying Rwanda's genocidal maniacs to protect them while they practice their deadly trade. For the park rangers protecting the Gorillas, it's all out war and they are heavily outnumbered. The team brings in special communications equipment that allows the rangers to track the Gorilla populations and call for help when they run into rebels. In Congo, this kind of equipment gives the edge to anyone who has it, and the team soon finds out that it is being targeted by "other" agencies. It's a race against the clock to get the equipment into the hands of the park rangers and show them how to tactically hide it during combat operations, and keep it away from others who may be trying to steal it.
