Mile 22

American black operations agent James Silva leads a covert team known as Overwatch, tasked with a high-stakes mission. Under the direction of James Bishop, they are set to infiltrate a Russian FSB safe house on American soil to locate and neutralize shipments of Caesium, a dangerous substance with potential for weaponization.

The team successfully breaks into the FSB hideout, encountering minimal resistance initially. They manage to seize several FSB operatives, collect critical intelligence, including DNA samples, and extract vital data from SSB drives.

As the operation progresses, the FSB counterattacks, resulting in a fiery explosion that engulfs the safe house. During the fray, team member Alice Kerr suffers serious injuries, escalating the urgency of the mission.

In a chaotic moment, an 18-year-old Russian named Anatole Kuragin falls from a window, pleading for his life amid the explosion's aftermath. In a heart-wrenching decision, Silva executes the boy, further complicating the emotional weight of the mission.

After successfully breaching the safe house, the team begins to sift through the materials collected. They identify the need to track down and secure the remaining batch of Caesium, realizing one last shipment remains unaccounted for.

As the narrative unfolds, we learn about Silva's tragic past that haunts him, particularly the loss of his mother and twin brothers in a car accident. This emotional baggage shapes his character and decisions throughout the mission.

Fast forward sixteen months later, the team has moved to Indonesia, hunt for the last tranche of Caesium. However, the intelligence they gather leads to a wild goose chase with misleading information that only uncovers counterfeit paintings and weapons.

In a surprising turn of events, Indonesian police officer Li Noor surrenders to U.S. authorities, claiming to have crucial information regarding the remaining Caesium. This unexpected development creates tension and a glimmer of hope.

Under pressure of time as his intel is set to self-destruct, Noor negotiates to share that the confiscated paintings are concealing the Caesium. This revelation raises the stakes considerably, as time ticks away for the team.

While tensions mount, Alice struggles to balance her mission responsibilities with her obligations as a mother. This internal conflict adds depth to her character and highlights the personal sacrifices made by agents.

As Axel, a fierce faction leader, demands Li Noor's return, chaos erupts within the U.S. embassy. The external threat demonstrates the dangers involved and raises the stakes for the Overwatch team.

During a crisis at the embassy, Alice and Sam Snow witness Noor’s exceptional combat skills first-hand, revealing his background in the Indonesian Special Forces. This revelation shifts their perspective on Noor as a valuable asset.

As Silva and Noor attempt to reach an airstrip to escape with vital information, they find themselves targeted by Axel's men. A fierce battle ensues, with lives lost as the team fights to survive against overwhelming odds.

In a shocking twist, it is revealed that Noor is not just a double agent but a triple agent working for the Russians. This betrayal complicates the mission further, especially since Noor's deceit led to the wrongful execution of a Russian general's son.

As the Overwatch team faces an ambush during their flight, they suffer tragic losses, leaving Alice's fate uncertain. Burdened with guilt and a desire for vengeance, Silva resolves to seek retribution against those who have wronged him and his team.
