Kiedy major amerykańskich Sił Specjalnych David Riley decyduje się na przejście w stan spoczynku, nie spodziewa się nawet przez chwilę, że wchodzi w najbardziej burzliwy okres swojego - i tak zdecydowanie mało monotonnego - życia. Zatrudnia się jako konsultant do spraw bezpieczeństwa ogólnoświatowej sieci telewizyjnej i w swojej pierwszej misji leci do Angoli, by czuwać nad bezpieczeństwem ekipy telewizyjnej podczas nadzorowanej przez ONZ misji pokojowej. Na miejscu okazuje się, że największym wrogiem sił pokojowych nie są rebelianci UNITA, lecz... stworzony przez człowieka filowirus, przy którym osławiona ebola swoimi objawami przypomina lekki katar.

Po ukończeniu elitarnej uczelni wojskowej w West Point, ten doskonały kawalerzysta, szermierz i strzelec (reprezentant USA podczas Olimpiady w Sztokholmie w 1912 r. w pięcioboju nowoczesnym, zaprojektował też szablę kawaleryjską wz. 1913 dla amerykańskiej armii) został adiutantem gen. Johna Pershinga, pod którym służył w Meksyku i podczas I wojny światowej we Francji. W 1942 roku dowodził operacją lądowania w Maroku (operacja „Torch”), następnie w ramach operacji „Husky” dowodził 7. Armią podczas inwazji na Sycylię. W 1944 r. został dowódcą 3. Armii, która wsławiła się walkami we Francji, w Niemczech i Czechosłowacji. Po wojnie gen. Patton został gubernatorem Bawarii. Zginął w wypadku samochodowym 21 grudnia 1945 r.
