β¦ Synopsis
Dr. Melinda Emerson has had her fill of international intrigue. She's eager to get back to work on a cure for Alzheimer's, and a normal life with her boyfriend, Buck. But when her flight home from a conference in Houston is delayed, she rents a car and offers a ride to another stranded traveler, landing herself right back into the thick of danger.
Grady "Buck" McCormick is ready to propose to his girlfriend Mindy. He's been carrying a velvet ring box in his pocket for weeks waiting for the perfect moment to do it. When his teammates give him crap for waiting, he decides he'll pop the question as soon as she's back from Houston. When she disappears on the way home, he'll risk anythingβeven his SEAL careerβto go after her.
Melinda is dragged to middle-of-nowhere Mexico by yet another Russian mobster where she tries to escape, but when he discovers his boss wants to get his hands on her for killing his brother, he's more than happy to sell her for a profit. Meanwhile, Buck and his friends scour the Mexican desert in a frantic search to find her. They catch up in a public plaza in MazatlΓ‘n where Buck has to choose: Risk his honor and everything he's worked for to save the woman he loves, or protect American interests and allow Mindy to be sold off to Russia where he can never follow.
