Plot

[edit]

Jonathan Cold is a former-CIA agent now working for himself and offering his services to the highest bidder. Jon is hired to break James Donovan out of prison. After a successful break, Jon takes James to see his brother, arms dealer Michael Donovan, who had hired Jon to break James out. In gratitude, the Donovans hire Jon to help sell parts for a small nuclear bomb to Nicholi (Nicholas Davidoff), the leader of a Chechen terrorist group planning to blow up Los Angeles because the CIA killed the group's previous leader. Meanwhile, Jon's former protégé, agent Amanda Stuart, is spying on the Donovans for the CIA. The Donovans see her spying on them while dealing with Nicholi. Jon rescues Amanda and takes Michael hostage. Nicholi does not care what happens to Michael, so that does not work as well as it should. Jon and Amanda go on the run, trying to keep the Donovans out of the way and stop Nicholi from blowing up LA.
