Dana Knowles was unhappy in her work as the only female nuclear weapons courier for the Department of Energy. Having served in the Middle East in wartime, and losing her fiancé in the conflict, she had been grateful, at first, for the opportunity to move back to the United States, and to have a job where she was safeguarding the country.
