When Martin Foreman arrives at his job at an investment firm on a rainy Monday morning in Seattle, what he expected to be a routine workday turns out to be anything but that. Just as he steps from his car, he is approached by FBI agents wanting him to spy on his employer, who is under investigation for money laundering. After being coerced to cooperate or risk being indicted himself, he agrees to do what the FBI is asking of him, not realizing that his family's lives will soon be turned upside down.Four weeks later, while Martin is at the Department of Justice in DC giving a deposition, both he and his wife Kristen's parents receive phone calls from someone claiming to be an old college friend of their children. When the FBI realizes that the Foreman family is likely now in danger from his firm's Russian Mafia clients, previous plans for Martin to resign his job and get away without raising suspicion quickly begin to unravel. Unable to safely return to their home in Seattle, Martin, Kristen, and their five-year-old son have no option but to be put under witness protection and relocated where no one knows them. While Martin secretly worries over whether the federal government can keep his family from harm, Kristen wonders if they will ever be allowed to renew contact with old friends. Later, as the stress of living a life of deception takes its toll on both of them, their marriage begins to deteriorate.
