A seasoned CIA agent embarks on a high-stakes mission to Moscow. Connor Fitzgerald leads a double life. In his family's eyes, he has a respectable existence, but in reality, he's a special agent for the American government and the CIA's deadliest weapon. Just when he thinks he can end his career, his employer sends him on one last mission to the heart of their former enemy: Moscow. There, a presidential candidate is plotting a military confrontation with the US. What Connor doesn't know is that he himself is the one on the hit list. It's a political decision, because his last mission was carried out without the president's knowledge, and apart from the CIA leadership, he's the only witness. Only when he's betrayed by his informant and sits on death row in the KGB does he begin to suspect that he's the victim of a conspiracy.
