"... set in present day focusing on the descendants of the original heroes, now scattered around the world, who team up for a global treasure hunt."

Madcap adventure based on immigrant detainees in a US detention center where one of the Border Patrol agents is the descendent of SGT Schultz and the detention center commander a descendent of COL
Klink.
