Remember Curt Russell, the Secret Service agent from LORD OF THE DESERT and THE TEXAS RANGER, who was dying to get into the FBI?

On this, the most important case of his life, Cord Romero cannot afford to be distracted. And he reluctantly acknowledges that Maggie plays an indispensable part in unraveling the child labor magnate's links to a shady global corporation that is the source of his wealth.
