Under the control of a criminal organisation, they follow their instructions closely, knowing every move is being watched. Unbeknown to them, their superiors are not the only ones monitoring their activities. Between a rock and a hard place, they soon find themselves in the hands of the authorities and forced into acts of espionage and treason leaving them at the mercy of the KGB.
