In the shadow of the Cold War, U.S. Army officer Nick Andrews is sent into Hungary under diplomatic cover. His mission: observe the rising tension behind the Iron Curtain and report back. No interference. No engagement. Just eyes and ears.
But Budapest in 1956 is on the verge of revolution. The people — students, workers, and soldiers alike — are demanding freedom from Soviet rule. As the uprising erupts into open rebellion, Nick is drawn deeper into a world of betrayal, sacrifice, and impossible choices.
Masquerading as a French trade negotiator, Nick navigates secret police, Soviet tanks, and underground resistance cells. With every step, he risks blowing his cover—or worse, his soul. When the revolution ignites, he must choose -- walk away or fight alongside those who refuse to kneel.
He came as a spy. He stayed as a revolutionary.
