“Vivere militare est” is Latin for “To live is to fight”, and it’s both the motto and the inspiration for the name of VME Security, a private security agency run by ex-soldiers Gus (Mark Dacascos) and Hans (Wolfgang Riehm). They handle tough jobs for those clients who can afford their no doubt expensive fees, but when an attempt to resolve a kidnapping ends with two of the VME team dead, Gus decides he’s had enough and persuades Hans that it’s time to sell the company and retire.
