The film begins by showing a group of Cuban refugees on a boat sailing for the United States. They are at first met by what appears to be a U.S. Coast Guard boat, with armed personnel. The captain of the vessel declares that the refugees are welcomed to the United States, only to have the Guardsmen open fire on them and take several bags of cocaine hidden in the boat. It is revealed that the armed personnel were communist Latin American guerrillas disguised as U.S. Coast Guardsmen.The real Coast Guard eventually finds the boat full of the murdered Cubans off the coast of Florida. The FBI and the Miami Police Department arrive at the docks to investigate the murders. The communist guerrillas eventually land in Florida and exchange the drugs for weaponry from a drug dealer. They are led by Soviet operative Mikhail Rostov Richard Lynch, who earlier had been disguised as the fake Coast Guard captain who opened fire on the Cuban refugees. Former CIA agent Matt Hunter Norris is asked to come out of retirement, but he declines. When Rostov and a team of guerillas destroy Hunters residence in the Everglades in a failed assassination attempt, this convinces Hunter to reconsider. ........
