The Outcasts drop from the night sky into the unforgiving desert along Afghanistan's border. These elite SEAL operators work for Bitter Ash, a covert unit that handles the missions too dangerous for anyone else. Their target: an Iranian biological warfare facility that must be eliminated with a portable nuclear device. A female agent waits to guide them through hostile territory, but their contact comes with deadly complications. A fanatical Revolutionary Guard commander closes in on their position, threatening to expose the entire operation. The team fights their way through the desert only to face another crisis in Lebanon, where they must extract a hostage before the enemy can strike back. Each decision carries life or death consequences. The Outcasts know that failure means more than their own destruction. America's security hangs in the balance, and they are the only ones standing between their country and catastrophe.
