She discovers the corrupt, megalomaniac President of neighboring Liberia is brutalizing Sierra Leone’s population and stealing blood diamonds to fund a major terror attack against the US. To silence Lexie permanently, the President lays a lethal trap by kidnapping her cameraman’s 10-year-old daughter. Lexie must choose between risking her life to save the girl or breaking the story to save her country.
