"A single spy-in the right place and at the right moment-may change the course of history."

Alexsi Ivanovich Smirnov, an orphan and a thief, has been living by his  wits and surviving below the ever-watchful eye of the Soviet system  until his luck finally runs out. In 1936, at the age of 16, Alexsi is  caught by the NKVD and transported to Moscow. There, in the notorious  headquarters of the secret police, he is given a choice: be trained and  inserted as a spy into Nazi Germany under the identity of his best  friend, the long lost nephew of a high ranking Nazi official, or  disappear forever in the basement of the Lubyanka. For Alexsi, it's no  choice at all. 

Over the course of the next seven years, Alexsi  has to live his role, that of the devoted nephew of a high Nazi  official, and ultimately works for the legendary German spymaster  Wilhelm Canaris as an intelligence agent in the Abwehr. All the while,  acting as a double agent-reporting back to the NKVD and avoiding  detection by the Gestapo. Trapped between the implacable forces of two  of the most notorious dictatorships in history, and truly loyal to no  one but himself, Alexsi's goal remains the same-survival. 

In  1943, Alexsi is chosen by the Gestapo to spearhead one of the most  desperate operations of the war-to infiltrate the site of the upcoming  Tehran conference between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, and set them  up to be assassinated. For Alexsi, it's the moment of truth; for the  rest of the world, the future is at stake.
