Marriage is complicated. Even more so, for Lexi and Sam Remington, after the United States government contracts the couple to kill a Venezuelan politician.
While enjoying their tenth anniversary in Rome, the Remingtons' blissful vacation comes to a sudden halt; the Central Intelligence Agency offers their security firm, Dark Angel, a large sum of money to perform an illegal assassination. Lexi, a spitfire Texan, is eager to accept the contract, despite her husband's urges against it. Unable to sway his wife, Sam yields to her wishes and gathers the team - a drunken Russian, a cocky Marine veteran, and a chain-smoking German.
Things aren't always what they seem, as politicians play the Remingtons like pawns. The mercenaries are thrown into a chaotic and complex battleground of scandals, espionage, and violence. With dark secrets unveiled and events turned against them, the horrors of their new situation could prove fatal. Scattered, terrified, and wounded, Lexi's team desperately battles a new objective - get out alive.
