Creasy thought he had nothing left to lose. He was wrong.An American soldier of fortune far from home -- alcoholic, burnt out, and broken down -- Creasy has accepted a job as a bodyguard just for something to do. An emotionally dead, one-time warrior, he knows that nothing can pierce the hard shell he's built around himself -- until the little girl he's been hired to protect somehow breaks through. But having something to care about again in making Creasy vulnerable. And when the unthinkable occurs, a man on fire won't just burn ... he'll explode.

Gillian žiarila, keď spoznala Chrisa, no iba do chvíle, keď ho našla v posteli s inou ženou. Zlomená opúšťa miesta, ktoré jej pripomínaju sklamanie a odchádza do NY a tu spoznáva Gordona. Chris sa ale vracia a chce si ju odviesť ako manželku.
