As the son of a bodyguard who sacrificed his life in the line of duty, teenage kickboxing champion Connor Reeves is determined to do his father proud and follow in his footsteps.

Whatever it takes to prepare him for the dangerous missions ahead. Connor’s training is put to the test when the U.S. President summons Connor for a crucial assignment: protecting the First Daughter. As Connor quickly discovers, the President’s daughter, Alicia, doesn’t want to be guarded; it is impossible to have fun while being watched all the time. So with no clue that Connor is her bodyguard, Alicia tries to elude her Secret Service agents and lead Connor astray. But unknown to her, a terrorist sleeper cell has been activated. Its mission: to take the president’s daughter hostage.
