Plot
As the political tides shift in Russia on the brink of critical elections, a chilling undercurrent of danger stirs with the ominous outbreak of a mysterious disease. Tangled in a web of curiosity and international intrigue, the British government seeks the help of Jason Monk, an American Agent with a haunting past. Once a deep-cover operative in the cold heart of Russia during the Cold War, Monk is coaxed out of his self-imposed exile with promises of settling old scores and a poignant chance to reconnect with the daughter he left behind.
Pulled back into the shadowy world of espionage, Monk forges an unlikely alliance with an old comrade and a determined Russian policewoman. Together, they unravel a chilling conspiracy that threatens to manipulate the election's outcome. A formidable adversary from Monk's past emerges from the shadows, now a powerful candidate for the Russian presidency. The enemy's plot is as sinister as it is deadly: the deployment of a lethal biological weapon to commit a horrific genocide against specific factions of the Russian populace.
But the villainous plan doesn't stop at the borders of Russia; the deadly virus is primed to spread across other nations, sowing chaos and fear. Yet, in a twisted game of political manipulation, the antidote would be introduced, transforming the presidential candidate into an unexpected hero. Amid the escalating tension, a deeply personal subplot unfurls as Monk embarks on a heartfelt journey to reunite with his long-lost daughter, adding a touch of humanity to this high-stakes game of power and survival.
