CIA agent Kit Yee Cheung launches a distress signal begging for extraction from Shangai, chased by the Chinese big guns. Pentagon neophyte Major Jim Tisnewski shows his new boss, JOD Specials Ops chief Colonel Eli McNulty, his sense of initiative and operation planning insight, even against instructions and procedures. It seems in vain, but his girl friend, a CIA analyst, inspires a sneakier reasoning to follow his military code of honor: never leave 'one of ours' behind. It gets the brass to sit up and reconsider, but time is pressing, to name just one more challenge.
