CIA officers Sia and Max embark on a perilous mission to infiltrate Russia and recruit the one man who can unravel the secrets of Vladimir Putin’s empire: Vadim, the private banker to the Russian elite. Posing as a power couple, they seek to manipulate their way into his inner circle. But Vadim’s wife, Anna, is no ordinary woman—she’s a deep-cover Russian intelligence officer working at the very bank they target.
As they navigate a world of ostentatious wealth, dangerous gangland rivalries, and secrets that could ignite global conflict, Sia and Max find themselves drawn deeper into a web of betrayal and deception.
