The Ejército de Liberación Nacional, Colombia's deadliest rebel army, funds its terrorist activities by taking captives for ransom. When the six-foot-four hulking American on a loaded and customized motorcycle rolled up to their roadblock, the terrorists thought they had struck gold. Dozens of dirt covered, sweat-soaked, desperate men with AK-47's frantically grabbed Glen off his motorcycle, and with their new American prisoner, disappeared into the jungle.

The weeks of physical and psychological torture Glen is forced to endure push this powerful man to his absolute breaking point. It is the desperate decision he makes one wet night while curled up on a muddy hut floor, panicked for food, and questioning his own sanity, that finally wins him his freedom. Without a second thought, but with more determination than ever, Glen remounts another motorcycle and continues his incredible journey.
