He betrayed an empire to remain true to his conscience.
Alexei Ivanov, codename “Patriot,” is the KGB's sharpest blade. Driven by pure ideals, he infiltrates New York, determined to help the Soviet Union win the Cold War.
But in the empire's shadow, what he steals is not a winning advantage, but proof that his faith is crumbling: rampant corruption among the higher-ups, his mentor purged for his loyalty, and the organization’s indifference to innocent lives... The empire he served was no utopia, but a decaying beast.
At the same time, Sarah, a CIA expert in turning agents, appears like a mirror, reflecting the light of humanity that has never gone out deep within him. Torn between loyalty and truth, duty and conscience, Alexei embarks on the perilous path of a double agent.
This is a deadly game played on a tightrope, where every step could send him plunging into the abyss. When the order to hunt him down comes from Moscow, he must use his wits and resolve to fight his way through this war without gunfire, for himself, for the ones he loves, and for a more genuine future.
