Special Agent Chancellor is under enormous pressure from his new FBI boss because he looks fat. Skinny Hope Olson has the opposite problem. Her parents think she's starving herself and they go to extremes to save her. Chance and Hope meet after she escapes a weird commando team of abductors. She overheard them mention another snatch in Baltimore, but didn't hear enough for Chance to intervene. The Baltimore victim resists the criminals and is killed. The kidnappers don't give up on grabbing Hope again, so as they chase her around the country, Chance chases them in a desperate effort to rescue her, enlisting other agents in his unorthodox escapade, while engineering a successful take-down of a Russian spy, on route. He far exceeds his legal and geographic jurisdiction, knowing he will at least be fired and possibly prosecuted, but Hope is worth it.
