Charlie, a dedicated journalist, and her brother Jack, who manages their late mother's gym, travel to Myanmar to visit their estranged father, Max Hightower (played by Michael Biehn), incarcerated for drug trafficking. Their visit takes a harrowing turn when they're falsely accused of a crime and imprisoned in Myanmar's most notorious facility.
