Old stalwarts of the Cold War from the communist states of the Soviet Union and China conspire to use a biological agent against the West in order to destroy their ability to manufacture by killing the population.
Russian General Sokolov of the FSB wants revenge for the killing of his son, Colonel Sokolov, at the hands of Soames, who he believed was a loyal member to the cause of the union. Using his connections within MI6 to gain his revenge, he overuses his authority bringing the unwanted attention of the renegade operatives of MI6, who he believes are subservient to him and agents of the FSB.
