Despite his stellar reputation, Nostromo encounters an unexpected challenge that will test his skills and ethics. Costaguana is a fictional South American country that’s embroiled in chaos due to war-lords eager to overthrow the government.

In an effort to protect his assets, Charles Gould, who owns a silver mine, plans to ship his precious metals out of the country.
