Synopsis
It should have been an easy introduction to Charlie Fox's new career as a bodyguard, working for the close protection agency run by her ex-lover, Sean Meyer. All Charlie has to do is babysit Trey Pelzner, the 15-year-old son of a rich computer programmer in Fort Lauderdale. The last thing anyone expected was a determined attempt to snatch the boy, or that Trey's father and their entire security team - including Sean - would disappear off the face of the earth at the same time. Now somebody out there is after Trey and evading them will take all the skill and courage Charlie possesses.
