Esther is Sam's sanctuary and when Weiss is assassinated she holds John Hamilton responsible. However, they both become assassination targets and flee across the US to escape their persecutors. They eventually find sanctuary in a small ranch in the South West where they come to terms with their separate pasts and entwined future.
