The CIA and the Russian government both come to suspect an illegal operation. Their spies circle each other, with deadly results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen President Sarah Peters begins to learn of this unauthorized project, the military resorts to murder of American citizens to keep the secret and ultimately releases the weapon into the water supply of Russian-controlled Ukraine, with devastating effect. The President takes a dangerous personal trip to Russia to defuse the crisis. Global war is averted at the cost of imposition of draconian political limitations designed to prevent future rogue operations which risk world destruction, including institution of new criminal law courts to punish people whose actions create such risk.
