World politics have changed. The rules are murky. Elda Ainsworth and Tosh Chelovek are questioning their allegiances. Tosh and Elda have both been targeted for elimination. The clarity of the past is gone. The old Moscow Rules have been lost.
In the midst of this, the spies move forward to right what they see as wrong. Their teams rely on Cold War techniques, modern cyber craft, advanced weaponry and their own skills to complete their missions. Ashok Bhatt and Stas Garin display their superior computer skills, while Anatoly Petrov and Snezhana Chelovek show off their skills with the use of poisons and weapons. Charlie Burlamachi has grown into Elda’s second in command and shows promise of surpassing her mentor.
Buried beneath an unfamiliar avalanche of new adversaries and lack of rules, can Elda survive and find her North Star?
