It soon becomes clear that he's in Florida, perhaps as part of an investigation the FBI has been running on a cloud of dust moving into the atmosphere, ostensibly borne on winds from Africa, and the implications it has for global politics.

That is, if they get out of this situation with their relationship, not to mention their bodies, intact.
