But when she and her colleagues discover that she has been the real target of repeated attacks, not her protectees – the president’s daughters – it’s time for her to show the world why she’s called the Freak from Battle Creek. The only question is if her unique skills will be enough to save the president’s daughters from torture and death at the hands of terrorists. It will be a challenge, even for the Freak from Battle Creek and her special skill set.
