When new teammate Maggie Stanley breaks through his facade of control, the stoic Torres finds himself at war with needs he never knew he had, for understanding, for affection, and for love. Despite an express prohibition from their shared masters, including Maggie's father and head of the group Deacon, the two form an affair and potentially doomed relationship, helpless to their passions for one another. Discovered by a teammate and blackmailed, they're framed and forced to flee for their lives, now officially fugitives and terrorist threats. Condemned to death by their superiors and once surrogate family, Ben and Maggie must flee for their lives relying on their training and enhanced abilities to ensure their own survival.
