A CIA agent sacrifices everything for his employers, including his family and, ultimately, his own life. No sooner has he shuffled off this mortal coil, though, than he finds himself mysteriously resurrected for one last mission that's timed to last exactly 24 hours. Once the countdown clock embedded in his arm reaches zero, he'll once again nod off into an eternal slumber if he hasn't completed his task.

Sergeant Thomas Beckett is teamed up with a death row inmate on a suicide mission to the Balkans. Their target is a rogue general accused of running a stealth operation that involves ethnic cleansing missions. But Beckett discovers that the government is using him as a pawn in a bigger mission and soon the body count grows and the bullet begin to fly.
