This enemy wants revenge and plans to eliminate anyone who threatens their goals. Stone discovers he's protecting a mysterious passenger who has drawn deadly attention. The chase spans from the English countryside to the warm shores of Key West. Stone must use every skill he has to keep his charge safe while staying ahead of their relentless hunter.
