Secret Service agent Doug Chesnic takes pride in his job, performing his duties with the utmost professionalism. His assignment for the last three years has been a test of his patience. Doug is in charge of a team stationed in Ohio to protect Tess Carlisle, the widow of a former U.S. president. Tess is known for her diplomatic and philanthropic work, but seems to regard Doug less as a security officer and more as a domestic servant—not unlike her chauffeur, Earl, or her nurse, Frederick.
Doug’s assignment with Tess comes to an end, so he is eager to be given a more challenging assignment. Tess decides that she wants him to stay, and Doug’s assignment is extended. Doug regards it as beneath his professional dignity to perform little chores around the house or bring Tess her breakfast in bed. Tess orders him to do so, even to fetch her ball during a round of golf. When Doug defies her, Tess contacts a close friend—the current president of the United States—to express her displeasure. The annoyed President—under the impression that Doug is substandard—chastises him by phone.

The FBI’s investigation reveals that Tess’s recent dizzy spells were caused by an inoperable brain tumor (about which she had indirectly told Doug) and, eventually, the car is found with an unconscious Earl but no Tess.
