Her husband and his friend are using Ashley as a getaway driver.

In the Cayman Islands, Sarah comes across Matt, who is enjoying retirement as a beach bum. After quickly capturing Ashley, criminal lord Donnie learns that the Cayman Islands hold the evidence he seeks. He dispatches his lieutenant Bobo and the "General" to locate them and recover the massive disc. Not everything turns out the way you'd hoped. Only Bobo managed to escape from Matt's assault on the general. Sarah and Matt's truck are able to evade him. After Bobo tells Donny what's going on, Donny tells him to stay low until he gets there.

Matt has a hidden history that Ashley learns about as their relationship develops. In an effort to learn more about Donny and his organisation, Matt contacts his handler, Drisdale. Matt finds out that Donny is an employee of a woman named Hector after he kills a few more of Donny's men and gets back together with his buddy Joseph. When Donny and his henchmen attack Matt, Ashley, and Joseph, Matt manages to eliminate them. After Ashley kills Bobo, Sarah gets away, but Donny captures her and Sarah and brings them to Hector's ranch. In an assault on Hector's compound, Matt slaughters all but Hector and Donny. Fitzsimmons shoots him, who in turn takes aim at Drisdale. After capturing Matt and shooting Hector, Drisdale eventually discovers that Fitzsimmons was a mole and kills Hector to cover his tracks. Upon his arrival, Drisdale's employer takes the initiative and explains that he intends to use it to advance his political career.
