She's covered Bosnian women Neo - Nazis and post - Katrina New Orleans (for which she won an Oscar) but now she's looking for an even bigger challenge. So she and her right - hand - man - a six - foot - six 72 - year - old African - American man named Xavier - head to Djibouti on the Horn of Africa to tackle modern - day pirates. Once they start filming though they find a whole lot more than they bargained for. They quickly learn that almost nobody in Djibouti is what he seems. A whole mob of colorful characters patrols the surrounding seas including a pirate commander who's more like Robin Hood than Captain Hook; a cultured diplomat with dubious connections; a rich playboy who knows more than he lets on; and an American - born terrorist with lofty ambitions. But then there's the recently hijacked LNG (liquid natural gas) tanker: just the thing an aspiring terrorist is looking for to blow up something big. What Dara and Xavier don t know though is who's going to be the one to get the prize and what they re going to do for it.
