Synopsis:
Mari McCabe, the heroine formerly known as Vixen, has resumed her life as a swimsuit model. While on a photo shoot, a group of models and photographers are gunned down by members of a drug cartel. Mari is the only survivor.

Mari brings the information to the drug enforcement community. She and Speedy, an expert on international drug trafficking, are then assigned to help the Suicide Squad bring down Xavier Cujo, the Columbian drug lord responsible for the murders.

While Mari, Black Orchid, and Captain Boomerang infiltrate Cujo's home undercover, Speedy, Nightshade, and the Enchantress make up a backup unit set to assault Cujo's fortress. However, the backup unit is discovered earlier than anticipated and are forced to begin the assault before Mari's team can complete their assignment of killing Cujo.
