However, his personal life tells a different story - one filled with fleeting encounters and a pending divorce, but with an unwavering commitment to his young daughter. Yet, upon arriving at his ex-wife's house in Sarasota, Florida, he stumbles upon a horrifying scene - a brutally murdered woman and his daughter mysteriously missing. FBI Agent Alyssa Locke, whose turbulent past with Sam is both passionately intense and disastrous, finds herself reluctantly leading the murder investigation.
Their last encounter, six months prior, had them thwarting a presidential assassination attempt. Now, with disturbing new evidence tying Sam to the unresolved plot, Alyssa's professional integrity is put to the test.

That's until he receives an unexpected opportunity: to lead a private hostage rescue mission aimed at liberating a wealthy American businessman held captive by Colombian paramilitary rebels. The offer seems appealing until he encounters his eclectic team - a linguist with a penchant for alcohol, a prodigious CIA threat analyst, an FBI negotiator with ties to the mob, a cowboy-styled medic, and an EOD expert with an explosive temperament.
