SYNOPSIS:

In 1966, Fred Mueller, CIA undercover operative posing as Jonathan Abbott, tries to sell secrets to a KGB agent, Yuri Konakov, in Vienna. Everything seems to be going well as the operation unfolds over time. The real purpose of the operation is to catch a mole in the organization. However, unbeknownst to the CIA operative, the Soviets learn his Swiss born mother, Anna Zworski, had an affair with Vladimir Lenin which produced a child: Frederick Mueller. Senior KGB officials believe they can use this information to their advantage. Mueller is quickly moving up in the agency. When he’s exposed by a female agent, he must blend into the bowels of the CIA. He goes off the undercover grid. Konakov tracks him down and demands the data he said he would provide when he was posing as a traitor. When his boss is killed and his wife, son, and daughter are almost killed by Konakov; Mueller takes decisive action and decides being Director of Central Intelligence isn’t worth it. But in the end, he makes Konakov pay for his uncompromising brutality while he vanishes off the face of the earth; never finding the mole. But the double agent does exist; basking in the limelight of the Kremlin.
