Ricarda, the goddaughter of a US Army General, works for the NSA. Usually she sits at desks to catch criminals, but now she has been assigned on a field trip. This mission is not her ordinary assignment. Together with a Special Operations Marine, Luis da Silva, she is supposed to go undercover as a married couple on their honeymoon.
Ricarda despises the macho, chauvinist man until she is faced with the choice of protecting her own life or saving his right back. From there ensues a journey that takes her across oceans with a US Navy Seal and across European mountain ranges from Italy all the way to Switzerland. All the while, she does not know where Luis is or why an entire army is trying to kill her before she can accomplish her mission.
Her journey takes her ultimately on a trip into the past which threatens the very foundations of her relationship with the man she loves.
