I nternational FTA tells the story of some Nigerian drug dealers who jumped bail while under the custody of the US federal agents. Unfortunately, the feds went after them across international waters, but it would take a lot more effort to track down these cunning, evasive foreigners than the feds had imagined. When a Nigerian drug dealer and his American partner fail to appear in a Federal Courthouse (FTA) after being released on bond, the U.S government doesn''t take it lightly. The two fugitives, along with their young unindicted co-conspirators, manage to find their way out of the country with the hope of being free forever. But, freedom is short-lived when the prosecuting attorney, James Cohen, vows to find and bring them to justice. With the assistance of the CIA, DEA, U.S. Marshalls and the U.S. Customs Authority, the government ventures across the Atlantic ocean in search of the fugitives. Suddenly, the discovery of three dead bodies of U.S. Federal Agents floating on the coast of the Atlantic ocean across the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, sends a strong message from the ring leader, Gabriel Ogar that the U.S. government may have encroached into the wrong territory.
