Dr. Charlee Sullivan, a medical researcher at Columbia University, maintains a reserved lifestyle until financial pressures mount leading to her involvement in international espionage during the 1970s. All is fine until an associate discovers the spying and suspects it's his co-worker and friend who is selling the medical secrets.
Compounding matters, a deadly virus is being studied in her laboratory which has the potential to be weaponized, killing millions, if in the wrong hands. Hoping to protect her country, Sullivan refuses to sell her research.
Charlee's co-conspirators, aware of the virus, employ an assassin the task of eliminating her to prevent others from having access to the research and its potential use. At the same time, a covert operation, led by government operatives, seek to make sure the real purpose for the virus is never discovered.
Knowing her life is in jeopardy, Sullivan flees, navigating the New England landscape from Nantucket Island to the rocky coast of Maine, hoping for the return to a simpler time.
