Former black ops specialist Tom Rollins is working as a short order cook in San Francisco. Living the quiet life. Or at least trying to.
But for a man like Rollins, trouble is never far away.
Tom has just spent the night with local cop Nina Perry when the two of them are snatched at gunpoint and bundled into the back of a van.
The motive for this seemingly random kidnapping soon becomes clear – a federal building is blown up by terrorists and Tom and Nina are being framed for the attack.
After a daring escape, Tom and Nina go on the run, pursued by a black ops team and a gang of crooked cops who have a grudge against Nina.
