The story starts in 2005, when Tom Erkeland his SWAT team, working for the Hague Tribunal, are inadvertently caught up in a unique assignment: they are dispatched to uncover the real motives behind the 1981 assassination attempt against the Pope. Their investigation leads them back to a 1940 massacre in Katyin, Russia, which reveals shocking new facts.

They soon find that modern technology is useless when tracking down the KGB-controlled secrets of the Cold War as assassins from the former USSR are closing in around the team.
