Two spies. One mission. No way out.
Budapest, 1948. The Soviet stranglehold on Eastern Europe tightens as paranoia and fear sweep the streets. When seasoned British operatives Will Shaw and Thomas Jacobs are sent to extract a brilliant Hungarian cryptographer, they expect a dangerous but routine mission. What they don’t expect is that the man refuses to defect without his kidnapped daughter—a girl now trapped in the hands of the KGB.
With time running out and Soviet forces closing in, Will and Thomas must navigate a city where every shadow hides an enemy, every whispered word is a betrayal, and no one can be trusted. Their only chance at escape is a last, desperate train ride toward the Austrian border, but even that is a trap waiting to be sprung. The KGB’s most ruthless officer is watching their every move, and one wrong step could mean a bullet in the back—or a one-way trip to a Siberian prison camp.
As the stakes rise and the mission spirals out of control, Will and Thomas find themselves fighting not just for survival, but for each other. Their love has endured war, secrets, and impossible odds, but this time, even their unbreakable bond may not be enough.
