What Is Bluefly About?
The story of Bluefly is set in the Congo region of Africa and follows Myla Reese, played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Myla is a United Nations translator who is dealing with a personal tragedy when she becomes involved in a dangerous military operation.

The discovery could change everything and put the entire team’s lives at risk.
