From the corridors of power in Missouri to the dangerous streets of Juarez and remote global hideouts, "Body Count" is a relentless story of a man's obsession with truth, the devastating human cost of corruption, and the extraordinary courage it takes to fight monsters, even when the battle seems unwinnable and the price is everything.
