Worried and guilt-ridden by his decision to withhold what had happened to Brinn during that long-ago night drives him to enlist help to rescue her. Private security contractor and former hostage negotiator, SPNI Agent Nadia Kapoor, poses as Ross's fiancé e on a mission to extract Brinn. Their arrival in Sicily makes it clear that they are in over their heads and will need to pull out all the stops to survive.
