Mattie Logan is a brilliant scientist who worked for the Department of Defense on a top-secret project. Arrested for treason, she is found guilty of selling out her country. Now she is on the run, trying to stay one-step ahead of a terrorist group who wants to capture her. They will do anything it takes to obtain the information she has about the special project.

Sean Cutter is a Midnight agent called back to active duty by the C.I.A. His mission is to find and bring back Mattie within forty-eight hours. What Sean never expected though was to be attracted to Mattie. This could possibly hinder his task and maybe prove deadly for both of them. Because of his prior experience with the terrorist called Jaguar, Sean has been given this assignment. Dealing with the Jaguar almost cost him his life previously and he bears the scars from their last meeting.

A terrorist group is determined to capture Mattie because of some top-secret information they desire from her. They ambush Mattie while she is on her way to prison. Now she is on the run for her life. Special agent Cutter tracks her down and saves her from the fanatic Jaguar. Mattie realizes the only way to prove her innocence is to endanger her own life by becoming bait and drawing Jaguar into a trap. Unfortunately, something goes wrong with the plan and now Sean must save Mattie before it is too late.
