When Peter and Vincent arrive in the Congo, they learn that Grace has fallen into the hands of a military faction. While Vincent immediately goes to look for Grace, Peter tries to secure her return transport. But the splinter group is not their only problem: Luther Bruhn has followed them and wants to use the chaotic situation for his own purposes.

Thanks to the daring pilot, Grace, Malu and Djamba manage to return safely to the camp. But Grace is very worried about Peter and Vincent, who they had to leave behind, and would like to go straight to find them. The men have fled and ended up in a minefield, which not only endangers their persecutors, but also themselves.

While Peter and Vincent fight for their lives in the Congo, Zora prepares everything in Dublin for a hostile takeover of the Swann Empire. Meanwhile, Peter's daughter Jane starts an affair with Vincent's younger brother Danny and gets on the wrong track. In the Congo, Grace is seriously ill with the Marburg virus and urgently needs medical help.

Zora believes her goals are within reach, but she did the math without Vincent. His force is now also supported by the former Europol agent Neumann, who left the agency disaffected. While Peter, Vincent and the others do everything they can to prevent the rocket launch, the Russian investors are sitting on Zora's neck and will not tolerate any delay.
