Emily's vacation ended in a bandit trap in the Mexican jungle. Emily is pressured to reveal the password to a secret system she is working on. Having miraculously escaped her captors, she hides in the container of a cargo ship, from which she is rescued by the coast guard in the person of the irresistibly attractive police officer Reed Campbell. Reed is suspicious of Emily and her story, but only until he almost dies with her in a car accident. Now he is completely on her side and is forced to escape with her from gangster bullets. Flight, pursuit, search for shelter not only bring Emily and Reed closer together, but turn the passion that arose between them from the first minute of their acquaintance into a fire.
