A dream that's about to become a nightmare. Soviet tanks thunder into the city, changing everything. Josie receives a cryptic message from a shrouded stranger on a mist-covered bridge, and soon she and Laurent are propelled onto a collision course with nefarious villains and unstoppable forces, as they rush to uncover a shadowy conspiracy before the city falls.
