In 1958 Premier Nikita Khrushchev is faced with the consequences of the cold war with the United States. Soviet agriculture is in disarray with Soviet citizens standing in long lines for meat, grains and fruit was non existent. Manufacturing of machines to build tractors, automobiles and machine tools were at all time low levels. However, cash was bleeding out of the country as the Soviets invested in nuclear armament for their own defense and the defense of the entire Soviet block countries.
To avert the United States attention away from these issues and to change the focus of the United States away from the costly cold war, Khrushchev ordered the KGB to recruit a spy for insertion into the United States to disrupt the economy, corrupt the morals of the citizens and create chaos within its borders. The KGB devises a plan to increase racial tensions, spread the use of recreational drugs, and promote civil disobedience. Speznaz Major Andrea Kirov is the chosen spy.
