Skye Mathews, acclaimed DEA undercover agent, pilot and consummate actress and her CEO husband, Rhys Wielde, are married with three children from the conclusion of "Deception's Guard". Skye schemes for a last mission to Argentina and Antarctica-to save lives and settle an old score. In ensuring her selection on the team, some would say she exploited the unthinkable and others applauded her ingenuity. Arriving in Buenos Aries, she is promptly captured and brutalized and her fellow agents murdered. Rhys is deployed to the country only to find his wife raving mad and barely alive. Thus begins their journey through Argentina, Chile and Antarctica involving deception, betrayal, revenge, ruthless murders, a shipload of lethal experimental narcotics, and their relationship threatened on the brink of fury and destruction.
