The chief of the CIA, Helen Dexter, decides, on her own, to order the murder of political figures of other nations on the basis of their views on the United States.

During this time, Helen finds out that she would be fired if she is found out to be ordering assassinations on several nations.

To cover up her work she plans to have her chief assassin, Connor Fitzgerald, eliminated.

The CIA rejects Connor's resignation and asks him to go on a final mission to assassinate a candidate for the Russian presidency.

A friend of his arrives in time and tries to rescue him by making a bargain with the Russian Mafia.
