A Cold War spy thriller centered on infiltration and assassination plots, driven by paranoia and ideological conflict rather than warmth or clarity.

Five highly-trained KGB agents are sent to the west to assassinate several Soviet dissidents. In order to stop the diabolical plot, an American agent must infiltrate Soviet intelligence and obtain information from a Russian computer.
