The NSA assigns Jake to a routine surveillance gig of an arms dealer's gorgeous daughter, Theresa. As soon as sparks fly, Jake is ordered to exploit her feelings so that the NSA can locate her father.
After capturing a ruthless, wealthy computer terrorist code-name DuMont, Jake convinces the NSA he's the perfect geek for the job of heading overseas to impersonate DuMont and infiltrate his international gang of cyber-terrorists.
After being told not to go, Jake attends his best friend's wedding. He should have listened to the NSA, because Jake didn't go alone. An assassin follows him at the wedding, and creates a dangerous situation for himself and his friends.
Thwarting a potentially disastrous terrorist attack, Jake captures the teenage son of a dangerous anti government militia leader, who retaliates by sending his men to kidnap Jake, but in a mix-up, they instead capture Jake's immature, younger brother Jerry, who is visiting.
After the NSA intercepts a phone call, they assume Jake is the target of a dangerous Polish mercenary who has just arrived in D.C. and wants to steal a nanite project. It turns out that Jake is not the target someone else on the team is.
When a miniature nuclear bomb goes missing from a military base, the NSA suspects that the theft is an inside job, engineered by a member of the Wolf Pack, an elite U.S. Special Ops unit, so they send in Jake undercover as a new member of the team to ferret out the traitor.
Jake goes on trial before an NSA emergency board of inquiry after he disobeys a direct order to kill a sexy, female spy accused of stealing a biological weapon, but if Jake is found guilty, the Special Ops project -- and Jake -- will be shut down for good.
Jake goes back to college on a mission to protect an African prince from assassins hired by a rebel general; Kyle and Lou offer Jake a chance to walk away from government control by faking his death.
The NSA is hit with a computer virus--and Jake has to team up with the guy he hates most in the world: DuMont. However, DuMont has some plans of his own. Meanwhile, on Lou's orders, Jake is seeing an NSA shrink, who tells Lou that Jake is mourning the ""normal"" life he can now never have, thanks to the nanites.
An agent whom Lou believes to have died years ago--a man with whom she has a past, and who she was forced to leave behind on a mission--is found alive and a rescue op is mounted. Meanwhile, Jake is thinking a lot about what happened between him and Diane, and the nanite project may potentially have a new member.
Jake is assigned to protect Dr. Nanda Sang--a Nobel prize winning activist and diplomat--from the Junshi clan of assassins. However, for a man of peace, the Ghandi of East Asia isn't quite what they're expecting. Particularly Diane, who sees him as a hero. Meanwhile, Warner pays DuMont a visit.
