The game takes place in the CAR. The protagonist, nicknamed Jackal, is a US arms dealer who has committed many crimes ranging from piracy to violating the UN arms embargo.

Jackal was sick with malaria, and after a week of being in the CAR, on his way back to the US, the Allied aircraft was shot down. Now you are doomed, and must try to survive in this hell.
