Ava Faulkner is a recovering addict and former soldier turned assassin. In France, she kidnaps her new target, an English businessman. Before she kills him, she questions him on why someone wants him dead. Unbeknownst to her, another woman electronically eavesdrops on the conversation. Afterwards, Ava flies to Boston where she visits with her estranged sister Judy and her mother who is recovering from angina. Ava has not seen them in eight years.

Ava's handler, and former Army superior, Duke sends her to Saudi Arabia to kill a German general. Ava lures the general into a trap and injects him with a poison that will kill him in 15 minutes and make it appear he died of a heart attack. She is interrupted by the general's subordinates, who suspected her because of a faulty name she used as part of her cover. A gunfight ensues, leaving the men dead.

Ava escapes and travels to Barneville-Carteret where Duke apologizes for the botched operation, insisting that the bad intel was a simple mistake. He gives her time off to decompress and she returns to Boston and meets Michael, her former fiancee who is now in a relationship with Judy.
