A personal aide to U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reece has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA.
All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he is offered his first senior-level assignment, he cannot believe his good luck until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax - a trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.
