Synopsis

Sam is the world’s toughest female bodyguard, tasked with protecting high profile targets for terrorism and assassination. She fought her way to the top in a man’s world and feels more at home in the war zones of Sudan than back at her L.A. apartment. When she’s assigned to protect a VIP in Morocco, she thinks she’s in for a quick and easy job.
That VIP turns out to be Zoe, a young and very rich heiress who’s never left her bubble of wealth and who isn’t keen on being babysat. Sam can take a bullet for a president, but young privileged girls aren’t her specialty - especially a spoiled one.
When Zoe’s bulletproof, secluded compound comes under attack in an explosive kidnapping attempt, Sam’s skills are put to the test. Accused of murder themselves, they must find a way to work together, determined to hunt the attackers and their corrupt employers.
