| Summary |
Charles Jenkins, antiguo agente de operaciones de la CIA, se encuentra en una encrucijada. A sus sesenta años recién cumplidos, tiene una familia a la que cuidar, un bebé en camino... y una empresa de asesoría especializada en seguridad al borde de la quiebra. Un día se presenta en su casa su antiguo jefe con un encargo peligroso: viajar encubiertamente a Moscú y localizar a la agente rusa que, según sospechan, está aniquilando a los integrantes de una célula de espionaje estadounidense conocida como Las Siete Hermanas. La necesidad lo lleva a aceptar la misión y cruzar el Océano. Pero cuando localiza al cerebro que se esconde tras los asesinatos descubre que ni esa "Octava Hermana" ni el resto de la célula son quienes se suponía que eran. Con la amenaza del espionaje ruso en los talones, Jenkins idea entonces un temerario plan de fuga a través del mar Negro. Pronto se dará cuenta, sin embargo, de que la agencia para la que opera lo ha abandonado. Tendrá que pelear solo por su vida... enfrentándose a su propia nación. |

Charles Jenkins, a former CIA operations agent, finds himself at a crossroads. In his late sixties, he has a family to care for, a baby on the way... and a security consulting firm on the brink of bankruptcy. One day, his former boss shows up at his house with a dangerous assignment: to travel covertly to Moscow and locate the Russian agent who, they suspect, is annihilating the members of an American spy cell known as The Seven Sisters. The need leads him to accept the mission and cross the Ocean. But when he locates the brain behind the murders he discovers that neither the "Eighth Sister" nor the rest of the cell are who they were supposed to be. With the threat of Russian espionage on his heels, Jenkins then devises a reckless escape plan across the Black Sea. He will soon realize, however, that the agency he operates for has abandoned him. He will have to fight just for his life... facing his own nation. |
