Synopsis for "Something to Believe In"

Living in L.A., Jim Rhodes is at a crossroads in his life after falling out with Stark; he has no shortage of job offers but wants to do something worthwhile. His girlfriend Rae LaCoste invites him to dinner with activist Vincent Cetewayo and others (Rebecca Bergier and Ranald Jeffries). Cetewayo explains that he is starting an NGO, Worldwatch, and they want to hire him, but Rhodes is reluctant. Shortly after, Cetewayo is imprisoned in the African dictatorship Imaya; the insane president there, Eda Arul, has a score to settle with him. SHIELD refuses to make a move because of the political implications, so Rhodes will try to rescue Cetewayo as War Machine, invading Imaya if necessary. This attracts the attention of Cable, who also prefers to avoid political changes in Imaya at that time because it will affect the entire region. War Machine attacks Imaya and defeats the air force, much to Arul's dismay, though his mysterious Advisor says he will take care of the matter. War Machine then confronts Cable at Imaya; later joined in the fight by the cyborg Deathlok, who wants to rescue Cetewayo.
