Because they’re in the risky business of recovering stolen aircraft, Gabriel Thibodeaux and Josie Blaine are no strangers to violence. When they’re hired by the US Government to bring a plane back from Russia, it sounds like a cake walk.
Then they find out that the plane is sitting on a Russian Air Force base. OK, Tibby and Josie decide that they can deal with that. However, they’re barely airborne when they discover that they’ve been duped into smuggling out a political assassin. The next bombshell is they’ve been framed for a major act of sabotage at the Russian air base.
With their pictures plastered all over European television, our flying duo has to escape eastern Europe, while eluding the FBI and a Turkish hit squad. The chase involves trains, planes, boats, furniture vans and a fuel truck that almost kills the “assassin chick”, whom they need alive. She’s their only means of avoiding lifetime incarceration in a Russian prison.
