Retrieval specialist Samantha Ballanger is hired for a high-stakes job that seems straightforward: locate a man who has become entangled with a dangerous cult and transport him safely across the country. The assignment promises both a substantial payout and a serious threat to Sam's professional reputation if anything goes wrong. The situation becomes more complicated when Sam discovers that her target, Matt Granger, is not only charismatic and attractive, but also an undercover reporter working to expose a powerful Russian mob boss. The people who hired Sam have concealed key facts, leaving her to navigate deception, violence, and a growing attraction to the man she is supposed to protect. As the danger escalates, Sam must decide how far she is willing to go to complete the job and keep Matt alive.
