P.J. and Cole work as sharpshooters for the Kelly Group International, a secretive family operation that rescues hostages and handles missions the government cannot touch. Their professional rivalry turns personal when they spend one night together, but their newfound intimacy shatters when their next assignment goes catastrophically wrong. P.J. walks away from KGI and disappears into a dangerous world of personal vengeance. Six months pass. Cole refuses to give up his hunt for his missing teammate. He tracks P.J. through a twisted game of retribution that forces her to question her deepest beliefs about right and wrong. When Cole and their former teammates finally locate her, they face an impossible choice. They can maintain their loyalty to KGI or risk everything to help P.J. complete her deadly mission.
