At a Washington, D.C. farmers’ market, Sadie Rhodes, a lonely professional who travels often, meets Cole Turner, a romantic agricultural author. They share an enjoyable all-night date, culminating in sex, and he returns home but his texts to her go unanswered. Cole’s sister suspects she is “ghosting” him, but their parents convince Cole to surprise Sadie in London, after locating her via a tracker on his inhaler he accidentally left in her bag. In London, Cole is abducted to Pakistan by arms dealers who believe he is legendary CIA operative “the Taxman”. Before he can be tortured with insects to extract a passcode, he is rescued by Sadie, who reveals herself to be the Taxman. After a chase through the Khyber Pass, they escape Cole’s captors.
