Logan puts his life on the line to barter for Max's after a hostage crisis at a genetics conference traps Max with a deadly fellow attendee...Lydecker. But as the situation intensifies, it becomes clear that hunter and prey will have to play nice together to get out alive.

Lydecker's manhunt for Vogelsang's killer puts Max on too many "most wanted" lists. Meanwhile, a stray bullet lodged in Logan's spine leaves him near death, forcing his protégée to make a decision that could save his life, but end her own.
