MISSION BRIEF

Synopsis

Russia and China need American agricultural resources and believe the country is broken. In Wyoming, Brigadier General Lance Bear Wolf and his team organize the Wyoming Army of Resistance. The fight runs from the state's ICBM country into occupied Cheyenne and spreads across the Rockies, forcing Wolf to balance strategic necessity, personal principles, and the desire to avenge catastrophic American losses.
