While on their way to the airport at the end of their stay in Mali, a Spanish family is being pursued by members of a Salafist group. Before their father's very eyes, the two children, Alejandra and Mario, are kidnapped by the Salafists, who flee with the children into the dangerous Sahel desert, south of the Sahara. In response, the Spanish Army's elite Special Operations Forces unit, nicknamed "The Green Berets", led by Captain Alberto Sánchez, is sent to Mali to perform a friendly extraction, the safe retrieval of the two children. However the parents, fearful of the risks involved, strongly oppose this, but are nonetheless forced to follow protocol in case of kidnapping in this country. The mission, though perilous, is then launched through the Sahel desert to retrieve the two hostages... The Special Operations Forces have 72 hours.
