The year is 1993 and the place is Somalia. The country is in civil war. An American operation in Mogadishu goes wrong. Around seventy American soldiers are surrounded. Where they are pinned down is the Bakara Market. The rescue is handed to other units. One of those units is from the Malaysian army. Nineteen soldiers set out. The regiment they belong to is the Royal Malay Regiment. The mission is dangerous and it is carried out at night. They go into the city in armoured vehicles. Fighting is going on in the streets.
