Fashion photographer Dani Reynolds' life suddenly changes after the death of her husband. Dani later learns that her husband was really a government agent. When she found out that he was murdered, she recruited a Vietnam veteran, Mac Harper. to help her find her husband's killers. After doing that, Henry Towner, her husband's boss, offered her the late husband's job. Dani would continue being a photographer and Mac would one of her models. Henry would send them anywhere in the world where there were Americans in trouble or criminals that need to be apprehended or other enemies of the U.S. that had to be stopped. Once there, they acted pretty much on their own. When Jon-Erik Hexum, who played Mac, died (see below), Jack Striker joined the show in the "Writer Block" episode as a real agent who is added to Dani's team as the new model.
