Steve Austin is approached by his former boss, Oscar Goldman to help him track down a group of criminals that he once took down. Steve is a little hesitant to do it. He is also approached by some men who know his son, Michael, who is an Air Force pilot. It seems that after his mother died, Steve has not seen him since, and it also seems that he is taking some very huge risks, and his commanding officer, thinks that Steve can talk some sense into him. Steve than also meets up with his old girlfriend, Jaime Sommers, whom he has not exactly gotten over, and would like to hook up with her again, but is not sure if that's prudent. When his son's plane crashes, Steve offers to take the assignment, if Oscar authorizes Rudy Wells to operate on his son.
