![]() Tagline: If you need to arrive safe and in one piece, hire a professional.
An International Waste Management Corporation, ECOCORP, has secured the rights to operate a facility in The Ukraine. In order for them to import the toxic waste that they plan on dumping at the various sites they have purchased, they need to get the correct documentation signed by Leonid Vasilev, the Minister for the Environment. Leonid, a staunch defender of the environment, refuses to allow his country to be polluted by these rapacious businessmen. In order to pressure him to sign, EcoCorp hires Jonas Johnson, former Delta Force, now a private security contractor, to find a way to get him to sign the papers.
Johnson kidnaps Leonid's daughter, Valentina, in an effort to leverage him to sign the required documents.
Johnson's plan is to keep Valentina constantly moving so Leonid cannot mount a rescue effort. He tries to hire Frank Martin to do the job of driving her from place to place, but Frank turns the job down. Frank gives Johnson's men the name of a friend who might be interested in the job.
