But Maggie's world spins out of control when a chance encounter with a mysterious Russian agent triggers a chilling revelation: he knew her husband. And what's worse, the agent suspects someone on home soil betrayed him. As Maggie searches for answers, she'll question everyone - and everything - she thought she could trust.
