Tyra Gunn is a freshly

recruited agent for the

Counter-Intelligence

unit of the United 

States Department of 

Energy. One of very

few female agents in

her field, Gunn feels

a heavy burden to "out macho" her male colleagues in order to be seen as equal to them. Still, her boss, William Maddox, isn't convinced she is up to certain tasks, assigning her to what he thinks is a 'babysitting' job protecting teenage physics genius Phillip Harrison.
