Further details
After somehow managing a daring escape from their would-be captors, Sam and Phil are now on the run, on the edge and on each other's nerves.
It's gonna take a huge leap of faith for Sam and Phil to turn back and face the very people that are threatening them, their loved ones and their town. And as friends and family are dragged into this deadly conspiracy, Sam and Phil's friendship is tested to the limit.
They have to expose Reid's evil development plans, save the town, uncover double agents, and rescue their loved ones - all of which means putting themselves right in the line of fire.
Can Sam step up and prove himself to be the man that Lizzie wants him to be? Or will Phil's childish antics finally prove their undoing?
