8pm Monday December 9th

Five foreigners, led by local tour guide Joey, set out for an overnight hiking trip in
the rugged mountains on Taiwan’s east coast. Not long into their journey, they are
ordered to turn back by three soldiers in army uniforms, who tell Joey that the trail

The hikers face a dilemma: do they retreat and let the invaders complete their
mission - and risk a war - or take a stand and try to stop them. If the enemy succeeds in their mission, critical infrastructure in Taiwan will be taken down, dealing a devastating blow to the hi-tech economy of the US and its allies. The stakes
couldn’t be higher.
