A vacation on Borneo sounded like fun, and it was until the death threats started.
Mike and Lily, offered a well-paid vacation by Lily’s investment banker mom in return for a little due diligence, had zero plans to start a small war, let alone decapitate the leader of a Malaysian state’s partner in crime.
But when Lily publishes an exposé that topples his corrupt government, the ex-Chief Minister vows revenge. With his usual hitman headless, he contracts a particularly psychotic Muslim terrorist.
Mike tries to reason with Azid, but the thing with terrorists, they tend to be unreasonable.
Running out of options, our desperate anti-hero turns to Ferdinand Marcos for a little favor. Namely: Invade Azid’s stronghold in the Southern Philippines and rescue Lily. So another small war, only this time much larger.
And all this while on vacation. Life is funny that way, but less so when President Marcos pulls a double-cross. With the situation both desperate and deadly, Mike develops a sketchy plan to save the day. Either that or die trying. All he needs is a submarine, some highly trained soldiers, and a few thousand martyrs.
