Signe, a CIA operative, has been embedded with Russian terrorists in Ukraine and is attempting to gather information on their next target. After she discovers that the terrorists have list of American spies, she must try to get the list and discover a possible traitor in the U.S. intelligence community. When Sen. Isaac White, a presidential candidate and Ham's former SEAL teammate, finds out about Signe's situation, he asks Ham to get his team back together, rescue Signe, and retrieve the list. Along the way, Ham and his team survive a volcano eruption, a tsunami, and a hostage situation.
