To save it, Chadayev wants to resign and lead a quiet life. But his plans are put on hold when he receives an assignment of national importance. Ernest Iceden, a former western intelligence officer, has stolen classified information that could topple whole countries. And now he's flying through Moscow. A massive manhunt is launched to catch the traitor. Chadayev has to save Iceden and engage his foe in a dangerous game where the stakes are painfully high.
