A tense Cold War thriller about two military rivals whose personal conflict threatens to ignite a larger geopolitical catastrophe.

Cold War adversaries Col. Jack Knowles and his Russian counterpart, Col. Valachev, are stationed on opposite sides of the German-Czech border.

After a defector is killed, things escalate into a full-fledged battle with serious geopolitical ramifications.
