Moscow, 1961: With the launch of Sputnik, the Soviet Union's international prestige is at an all-time high.

Weeks' defection in the early 1950s shook Washington to its core – and forced the resignation of his brother, Simon, from the State Department. Simon, now a publisher in New York, is given the opportunity to read and publish his brother’s memoir. He knows the US government will never approve yet the offer is irresistible.
