Based on the novel There Are No Spies by Bill Granger
An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and
finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving
high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.
In Lausanne, Switzerland, retired CIA agent Peter Devereaux is
visited by his former chief John Hanley who convinces him to extract
the agent Natalia Ulanova from Russia. Natalia is the assistant of the
Russian candidate for President Arkady Federov and has been collecting
evidences of war crimes committed by the candidate during the Chechen
War and requested Peter to help her. However, during the operation, CIA
chief Perry Weinstein believes that Natalie has been captured by the
Russians and orders agent David Mason to kill her. Natalie gives photos
and the name Mira Filipova to Peter before dying and the agent informs
Hanley. Peter kills the CIA agents, but when he sees Mason, he spares
the agent that was trained by him. When Mason meets Weinstein, he learns
that Peter and Natalie had a love affair in the past and the agent is
assigned to kill him. Peter heads to Belgrade where he saves the social
worker Alice Fournier that might know where Mira is from Federov's
assassin Alexa and from Mason. Soon Peter learns dirty secrets about
Arkady Federov and the CIA and has to flee with Alice to save their
lives and expose the crimes to the world.
