"In the second novel of the Jack Reacher series, Jack Reacher, an ex-MP, has left the army and is now exploring the United States that he is a citizen of but never knew since he was stationed all over the world.
One day he sees a woman on crutches who looks like she needs help putting her dry-cleaning into her car. He stops to help her and they are both kidnapped. He does all he can to protect the woman, and instead waits it out while they travel in the back of a truck to the middle of nowhere.
He soon discovers that the woman is an FBI agent and their kidnappers finally stop in the middle of a camp where there is a cult of people who want their independence from the United States and want to achieve that in any way possible.
Jack Reacher with the help of the female FBI agent must discover a way to prevent the cult from causing damage to the rest of the nation and find a way to escape themselves.

They were kidnapped! Holly Johnson is an FBI agent and the daughter of an Army General and the Joint Chief of Staff for the government, a likely candidate for a extremist militia group in Montana.

Reacher is an ex-military police with all the skills and knowledge to make him a very dangerous man to the enemy, and a friend to the good guys. After arriving in Montana, the leader of the militia, Beau Borken who was a psychotic villain, was going to use Holley as a barter to achieve his ways.
