Complete story — includes the ending
Annie Walker is a new CIA trainee agent who is unexpectedly sent out into the field because of her language skills (she can speak six different languages). Auggie Anderson, a blind agent, is Annie's guide in her new life at the DPD (Domestic Protection Division) at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Her first mission is to retrieve information from a Russian spy at a hotel. As the exchange starts, the informant is killed. Annie makes it out of the room but is unable to retrieve the intel. She goes back for it but doesn't believe the person who died is who they say they are, so she investigates further, only to get in trouble about protocol and using civilians to help on a case. Eventually the real spy emerges and almost kills Annie, but her ex-boyfriend, Ben Mercer ( Eion Bailey ), whom she is searching for, helps her by killing the spy. Annie is not sure if she actually saw Ben, so she tells her boss, Joan Campbell, about him. Joan dismisses it and assures her that another agent got there just in time to save Annie. However, Joan and her husband Arthur Campbell know who Ben Mercer is, but not what his intentions are. They decide to keep Annie in the field in hopes that Ben will reemerge from wherever he is hiding.
