Addie Lang, secretary to the infamous East German spymaster, Markus Wolf, does the unthinkable: she copies a classified document. Her impulsive act incurs the wrath of the regime and pulls in the KGB and an underground evangelical group. An unprecedented manhunt for Addie and her boyfriend generates electronic state chatter that catches the attention of the CIA, which subsequently sneaks an agent into the country and offers Addie a deal: her freedom in exchange for the document. Executing this plan, however, proves to be much more difficult and dangerous than anticipated.
