For more than twenty years, I lived by my Air Force code.

Until I made a choice. Put my family first. Something a soldier is never allowed to do.

Now I don't know who I am. Or where I belong.

Getting lost in Mexico sounds like a good idea, but with only guilt and regret as my constant companions, I'll never figure it all out.

Until a chance meeting with Dr. Mikayla Salim in a hotel bar changes my course.

She's everything I'm not. Full of life and on a mission of her own. To change the world through her research.

In a few short days, she's done the impossible. Given me hope.

But now she's in danger. And I'm the only man with the skills to save her. To protect her.

And I will.
