Ignoring orders, Hudson finds himself drawn back into the hunt when a mysterious call near the Lincoln Memorial precedes a devastating explosion. He realizes Konstantin has followed him to American soil, turning the hunter into the hunted. Konstantin's presence signals something far larger than a personal vendetta; a meticulously crafted plot, dormant since the Cold War, is about to be unleashed upon the nation's capital. Teaming up with fellow CIA operative Emily Pierce, Hudson embarks on a perilous race against time to unravel the conspiracy and expose the mole within the Agency aiding Konstantin.
