Plot Outline:

The investigation into a kidnapping of the daughter of a high-ranking US government official.

A "lone wolf" U.S. government secret agent, Scott( Kilmer), is assigned the task of rescuing the kidnapped daughter (Bell) of a high ranking government figure, only to discover along the way a larger, more sinister plot.In the US-government's special ops, Scott is a shooter, not a planner, doing the job without regard to quaint or obsolete convention. When the President's daughter (a Harvard undergrad) goes missing, it's Scott who applies the pressure, first to her boyfriend, then to a madam whose cathouse is the first stop en route to a white slavery auction house in Dubai. The abductors may not know whom they've grabbed, but once they figure it out, the girl is doomed. As Scott is set to fly to the Middle East, the drowned body of the girl turns up. Deadly double crosses force Scott to become a planner. Through it all, earnest TV newscasters read the drivel they're handed.
