The SAS face losing their leader when Dempsey is taken captive while protecting Overseas Development Minister Nicky Strong on a Top Secret visit to Tblisi, Georgia. Red Troop is scrambled to the rescue but they unwittingly play into the hands of the kidnapper. In such dangerous terrain the odds are stacked against them - and Dempsey. And Henno has a personal score to settle.
Red Troop of the SAS is back in action when a ship docks at Southampton with a suspicious crew. Jamie and Henno sneak on board to plant a tracker, but the operation goes wrong - they lose radio contact with base and are forced to kill a man. Caroline poses as a customs officer to help them escape, but events get out of control and a tremendous gun battle leaves Red Troop in the firing line.
The firefight against French Special Forces aboard the Dowager Joan has left Jem dead and Caroline in a coma, while the rest of Red Troop face a full judicial inquiry that could land them in jail. Dempsey tries to rally the troops but Louis and Jamie don't want to toe the party line. And the men are shaken up by the arrival of a tough new troop commander, Captain Ian Macalwain.
