When the daughter of a long-hidden couple in the Witness Protection Program vanishes, a young U.S. Marshal must find and protect the girl’s parents before the recently released criminal they testified against kills them.

SYNOPSIS:

Deputy U.S. Marshal EVA SANTOS (25) is the new caseworker protecting JAY (43) and PAT WELLS (41) who have been in the Witness Protection Program for fifteen years. Within 24 hours, the billionaire killer/torturer the Wells’ put behind bars, Mr. ZANO (65), is freed from prison pending a new trial, Eva’s predecessor abruptly quits and disappears, and the Wells’ daughter, MARY (18), vanishes under suspicious circumstances. Eva must find Mary while protecting Jay and Pat from Mr. Zano and his hired killer, Danny “GLOVES” Tosca (60).

Eva gets help from inexperienced Sheriff DEPUTY EASTMAN (24). They are both smitten. The search for Mary on the dangerous Riptide Beach where her wet jacket was found comes up empty, and Eva suspects foul play. Meanwhile, Mr. Zano, who is under house arrest, gets help from his grandson to circumvent the ankle monitor transmitter and is free to hunt for Jay and Pat.

Jay and Pat are moved to a remote hunting cabin, but they keep escaping for various reasons: to avoid being found by killers, to gather supplies from their old house, and have affairs, but not to search for their daughter. Eva’s investigation to find Mary is hampered by Jay and Pat, who think their daughter wants to reveal their whereabouts to Mr. Zano. Jay and Pat also reveal they moved Mary’s nanny, FRAN DEMONTE (30s) from Florida when they were relocated, not knowing she was Mr. Zano’s secret informant on Jay and Pat who are skimming Zano’s money. Jay is having an affair with Fran, while Pat carries on an affair with Mary’s friend, ACE (24).

Eva and Deputy Eastman have their hands full because everyone is a suspect in Mary’s disappearance, all of them lie (a lot), some of them are killers, and no one is easy to track down. Eva’s office is bombed with her predecessor inside, and FBI AGENT NICHOLS (55) who was also assigned to watch Mr. Zano, is brought in to find Mary. Eva, Jay, and Pat are shot at on two occasions in Eva’s car. However, when Ace is executed at the beach where Mary disappeared, Eva begins to masterfully solve all crimes. A showdown at the hunting cabin is orchestrated by Eva bringing everyone together. Mary disappeared with Mr. Zano’s ledger with his bank accounts and passcodes to protect her parents. Eva accuses FBI Agent Nichols of killing Fran and being on the take from Zano like her predecessor. Gloves is arrested behind the cabin for attempted murder, while in front of the cabin, Agent Nichols shoots Zano and is arrested. In the end, Eva and Deputy Eastman find love and the criminal mastermind, Mary, who is happily spending Zano’s money on a beach in Montenegro.
