Intelligence veteran Logan Callahan begins to suspect that his own misguided loyalty has made him an unwitting pawn in an international espionage conspiracy, leaving him hunted by a hostile foreign government and abandoned by his own.
Logan Callahan is a military intelligence veteran simultaneously haunted by memories of Afghanistan and desperate for a reason to disrupt the monotony of his new civilian life as a restless doctoral student in Washington, DC.
A sense of purpose returns for Logan when he is mysteriously offered an opportunity to utilize his intelligence tradecraft in assisting a couple of overzealous FBI counterintelligence agents. At first, they simply ask him to monitor Russian espionage activities at a local nightclub. But over time, the requests from his handlers become increasingly more dangerous.
No longer eavesdropping amongst the fur coats and ornate chandeliers of an Eastern European-inspired hot spot, Logan is asked to befriend a Russian diplomat with a dubious history. As he searches for vulnerabilities to exploit in his new target, Logan begins to suspect that his own loyalty has thrust him into a deadly conspiracy.
Caught between the nightmares of his past and the paranoia of his present, how far will one man go to put service before self?
