Head over heels from virtually the minute he sees her, Andrew pursues her with intensity, aware that Daria has trust issues. Charming and a bit relentless in his amorous dance with Daria, Andrew succeeds in winning her heart, but a greater challenge awaits when he accompanies Daria to her father's wedding in Russia. Raf Larin, Daria's father, is a powerful Russian official, being pressured by associates of his former comrade in arms, Oleg Razhin, a criminal mastermind, once a friend of Raf's, who spent the last 7 years in prison. Razhin's men on the outside kidnap Daria, part of a maneuver to force Raf to obtain him a pardon and release him from prison. Andrew is horrified when Daria is kidnapped, part of a maneuver to put Raf to the screws. At the same time, Raf arranges the release, and meets Razhin in prison, convincing him to set Daria free. However, after he is released, Razhin is gunned down by unknown assassins. Willing to risk his life to rescue Daria, Andrew works independently of Raf to break open the circle of kidnappers and set Daria free.
