The boys are back!

After a few months recuperating from gun battles, abductions and daring rescues, the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Squad is shouted a road trip by New Zealand Police for their past courageous efforts tackling kidnapping mercenaries, Russian gangsters and a South American drug Cartel.

While on their all-expenses-paid tour to scenic Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island, Superintendent Mosley has a simple request: investigate a retirement village in Christchurch along the way. What could possibly go wrong?

As their journey begins, retired NZSAS Captain, Jesse Hunter, and his squad are targeted by Russians who have a score to settle, and an elusive Colombian hitman who has several people on his list, including the squad.

Along the way are high-speed car chases, abductions, daring rescues, weak hearts that find strength, and hardened hearts finding redemption. Casinos, strip clubs, diamonds and death populate their path. Their simple Tour Off Duty becomes a running battle to stay one step ahead of vengeance-seeking killers, where enjoying the scenery is a luxury that could kill.

Can pure grit, humour and guts keep these senior-aged soldiers alive long enough to finish their tour?
