As Matt Carter, a freelance journalist, you find yourself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to control the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arrival in Moscow for a routine story, you have been stripped of all possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB's political prison. You must now evade or overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before you are sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed.

Players match physical strength and wits against the powerful Russian enemy in stunning environments from the former U.S.S.R, including Chernobyl, the Mausoleum and Lubyanka, the notorious KGB prison.
