The Home Team follows Major Sam Anthem, a highly skilled, successful Army special operator working for the State Department’s Extreme Operations Group. As part of the EOG’s leading team of operators called the Home Team, Sam and his three teammates develop and execute innovative plans for curtailing the flow of illicit drugs into the U.S. This mission is carried out while building the source nation’s agricultural infrastructure to counter the motivations of those responsible for the drugs.

Sam is at the peak of his career as an operator, but in spite of all his accomplishments he comes to realize that life should be about more than just his work. His attitude begins to slip and his boss, the director of the EOG, begins to doubt Sam’s effectiveness and willingness to utilize the tools of his trade: his guns. 

It is when Sam rescues Consuelo Zamora, a female missionary healthcare worker, during an operation in Mexico that he begins a journey to turn his life around. On that journey, he finds unexpected love with Consuelo and a new home on the waterfront in Olympia, Washington. Most surprising and important of all, Sam discovers God and invites Our Lord Jesus Christ into his life.  All this happens while Sam and the Home Team battle cartel leaders and their gangs using DOG’s controversial nonlethal weapons and attempt to bring those cartels into the U.S. State Department and Mexico’s joint Drugs-to-Agriculture Program.

Just as things begin to move forward for Sam, he sees the negative impact of his efforts reach out from Washington D.C. and the forests of Mexico to his adopted home in Olympia. Someone is revealing the inner workings of the EOG to the cartels. The lives of everyone Sam cares about are threatened and the success of the Home Team’s latest mission is put at risk by the traitorous efforts of highly placed government officials, aided by someone within the EOG.
