The fall of the Berlin wall and the dismantling of the Soviet Empire changed the world, engendered new rivalries and started a new kind of Cold War. From Paris to Moscow, from Berlin to The Hague to New York, mafia hotshots, ex-members of the nomenklatura, powerful financial and industrial organisations, spies from all sides: all of these influential figures are involved in a political and economical warfare and the stakes are high.

A document has surfaced, listing the names of American citizens who had shady dealings with the secret police of former East Germany. The CIA sends Alpha to escort its owner and his family, but some of the implicated people are influential and have a long reach, while other countries see in the list an opportunity to blackmail potential agents within the higher spheres of US power. It is a mission that will definitely not be a pleasure cruise...

The Cold War: the golden age of American and Soviet spies, a time when everything was clear-cut and simple. We're the good guys, they're the bad guys. Nowadays, CIA operatives like Alpha often feel more like commercial envoys than secret agents. When bodies start to drop in Washington, though, a boring mission that includes playing tourist guide to a Russian delegation suddenly becomes much more dangerous. An old bogeyman from the Cold War, long thought dead, has reappeared.
