Synopsis
Chief Warrant Officer Dave Riley and his team of Green Berets are summoned to perform "damage control" at a laboratory in Tennessee where top-secret research is made possible through funds granted by the Pentagon's "Black Budget."The scenario: "SYNBATs" (Synthetic Battle forms) have escaped the lab, and Riley's A-team must scour the hills of Western Tennessee to retrieve these bio-engineered genetic forms before they prove to be catastrophic.But when the men discover a bloody trail that leads them to the heart of urban Chicago, they are faced with unimaginable conditions.The "Black Projects" are never discussed but their existence is about to rock society. And the Green Berets witness how deadly their own forces can be.
