A Soviet officer in Cuba during the Cold War. A crash strands him in America. A former ally turns his worst enemy. Can he survive and find a way home?
At the height of the Cold War, a plane crash strands a Soviet officer in America. Living among those he thought to be the enemy, he transforms into the capitalist he once fought against. His life is entangled with a merciless Cuban prosecutor out for revenge. Both men are torn between ideologies, save for one: their ever-hardening rejection of God.

The plot explores the consequences of human choices, spinning an intricate web of envy, treachery, life, and death, and how God’s search for man transcends all political and geographic boundaries.
