As the Vietnam War concludes an MIT professor contracted to the NSA leaks U.S. military secrets to the world. He is now America's #1 traitor. Abducted by Soviet agents, he and his family are traded to North Vietnam.

Wade Hanna's partner and lover, Megan Winslow, is forced into a witness protection program run by Army Intelligence. Haunted by PTSD flashbacks of her last mission Megan discovers she is being used as "bait" for another covert operation.

Escaping the witness protection program Megan finds sanctuary with Wade in the deep swamps of Louisiana. Wade is selected to head the mission to capture or terminate the #1 American traitor. To avoid being left behind in the swamp Megan must convince Wade she is fit for the new mission.
