2015. Dima, a former operative with the DGSE’s “Ghosts” group, is a station chief exiled to the Caucasus by his peers. Battered by a violent fate and consumed by remorse over a sacrificed love affair, the recruitment of a high-level source within Iran’s nuclear program will give him the opportunity to take revenge on a past he thought was gone forever.
