In New York City, museum ornithologist Rachel Sutherland is fully engrossed in her work, with no time for outside interests or romance, when she is approached by FBI agents who ask to use her apartment as a command post to track and apprehend a South African operative who is planning to assassinate SA President Nelson Mandela. As this tracking operation unfolds, Sutherland finds herself attracted to McMillan, the apparent leader of the group, but along the way she comes to realize that, instead of being an FBI agent, McMillan is actually the SA operative, who is maneuvering to eliminate all witnesses to the planned operation, including Sutherland herself. She manages to escape, even while thwarting his attempts to assassinate the others who are aware.
