"USAF Lieutenant Samantha Spade and her team of techies spend their time testing the latest gizmos and gadgets for the military. The Ergonomic Exoskeletal Extension--more fondly known as EEEK--allows a person to slip inside a lightweight metal frame and have a robot's strength, speed, and vision capabilities. But the enhanced vision doesn't help when Sam stumbles over two dead bodies on a 2 A.M. test run. Later, she learns from handsome but gruff Border Patrol agent Jeff 'Mitch' Mitchell that one of the dead men is a former U.S. soldier-turned-arms dealer--and that his death may be part of an elaborate cover-up.
