Years after the Vietnam War, Lieutenant Joe Hoffman (Hatch) returns to the "Golden Triangle" to find Michelle Twassoon (Mitchell-Collins), the interpreter he loved. They had a son. But Hoffman's search is complicated by Larry Bingo (Max), a former army soldier dishonorably discharged for assaulting a local woman during the war. Now a drug runner with his partners Snake (Pollard) and Bandit (Dye), Bingo recognizes Hoffman as his commanding officer, who was largely responsible for his punishment. Driven by revenge, Bingo targets Hoffman.
