Silvia (played by Nicole Kidman) is a United Nations translator of African descent. By chance, she overhears a political conspiracy during a UN General Assembly where a plot to assassinate an African head of state is being planned. They converse in an African dialect, which Silvia, who masters the language, accidentally intercepts. Silvia thus becomes a target that others are eager to eliminate. The FBI assigns agent Tobin (played by Sean Penn) as Silvia's temporary protector. The two, who have contrasting personalities, gradually learn about each other's backgrounds and circumstances, during which Tobin suspects that Silvia may be hiding an unknown secret, as there seems to be a deep grudge between her and the African head of state involved in the assassination plot. This leads Tobin to question: Is Silvia a victim of the situation or a participant in the conspiracy? Tobin is filled with doubt yet must steadfastly fulfill his duties to protect Silvia. Amidst suspicion, they are drawn to each other. In increasingly dangerous circumstances, they must uncover the truth as quickly as possible.
