Sam and Lucy are expecting their first child. They both work at a CIA office in London. Sam is tracking a money man who helps terrorists. Lucy calls him while he is in a meeting with an agent from home. He runs out of the building thinking that there is a problem with their unborn child. As he leaves the building, the floors occupied by the CIA explode. Sam sees Lucy in a car and gives chase. He is unable to catch her. Now the CIA believes that Sam and his wife are traitors. After almost a year in captivity, Sam is freed. He gets a job as a bartender and is being watched by the CIA. When he is almost killed, he evades the CIA and sets out to find his wife and child. He joins forces with a mysterious group that is also looking for the terrorist's money man. Sam does not know who to believe and trust. Will he be able to find Lucy and their child? Will he be able to prove to the CIA that he is not a traitor. Great thriller and hopefully the start of a great series.
