This T FLAC hero, Kyle, is not typical... he's a doctor, who finished too young to comfortably practice... so he went into research... until Montero, a medical school dropout 'friend' turned drug lord, power hungry, wanting to dominate the world jerk, contacts him to develop a small pox terrorist weapon... Kyle's brothers are navy & TFLAC, so he goes to them, and starts a 4+ year undercover job to take down Montero and as many international terrorists as possible... As he starts this self assigned job, he says goodby to his father, not knowing if he'll see him again, and sits in a bar, and sees... her... walk... in...

Delanie, kindergarten teacher, family caretaker, conservative... she goes to San Francisco to surprise her fiance, who has been pressuring her for sex, and finds him in bed with someone else... so she enters the bar, a virgin, out of character, wanting to know what it all sex is about... and hooks up with Kyle...

and they spend 3 day/nights in his room having passionate, no holds bar sex... he leaves her to get his clothes, when he returns, she has left (thinking he'd already left her - and wanting her sane life back)... and for the next 4 years they think of one another, not expecting to see one another again...

4 years later... Montero's south american jungle retreat... they meet up again... Delanie is playing the dumb blonde in an effort to track her sister, who disappeared when seeing Montero in Las Vegas... playing the part, she is lounging by the pool in a string bikini bottom, no top, and a gold necklace (which is actually a control device - delivering a shock, and if cross the buried fence, one would be electrocuted)... when Kyle shows up - this is the week he is taking Montero down... Surprise for both of them...

and... Montero gives Delanie to Kyle (Montero's gay, wants to please Kyle)... and Kyle is a gentleman, and does his best to get her to safety... they don't trust one another - what is each doing there... and it takes a couple of days... they get to meet his pet piranhas at a nearby pond... they witness his shooting of a boy who was supposed to watch to keep the snakes out of the pool, Kyle keeps returning serveliance bugs to Montero, they go to town, and she bypasses his men and returns to the helicopter back to Montero's... Delanie is one minded on finding her sister, Kyle is watching and testing her, learning about her...

Montero's sadistic mother shows up (she is 'kidnapping and training' women and selling them as sex slaves... and she gives Delanie a new drug that makes her want sex... Kyle succumbs to her desires, she is embarrassed... They stage Kyle killing her. and he pretends to dispose of her body in the pond, but hides in Montero's bomb shelter... but... Montero's mother gets a hold of her, applies a little electrical torture and physical embarrassment... Kyle rescues her... they hike 3 hours to a site Kyle set up, Kyle tells her he loves her, and a little psychoanalysis about her need to be needed...

and then his crew shows up in the morning, including 2 brothers and a brother in law... and they hike back to Montero's... they take him down, blow up buildings... somehow Montero gets Delanie to use as a hostage to get out... and Delanie has just had enough... there is a fight, Kyle against 5, and she handles Montero - and he ends up in his piranha pond... then they go to the bomb shelter, and there is her sister - drugged & Montero's mother... and Delanie & the mother fight, with Kyle yelling her on - knowing that she needs to do this, even though he'd rather do it himself...

and she chooses to go with her sister to the TFLAC medical facility in Montana... and another 4 months go by, and Kyle has been letting her figure out her feelings - she has a little counseling, and finally decides to track him down... a few awkward minutes in a mexican bar, she starts by telling him she cares for him, but he wants more... when she gets pissed off, and says would she be there if she didn't love him, he melts and makes her repeat it over and over... and they kiss, and the patrons clap... and there are very mushy words of love and acceptance of one another just as...
