Vivian Miller sits at her desk in CIA counterintelligence, tracking Russian sleeper cells operating across America. She has built her career on identifying these hidden operatives who live ordinary lives while serving Moscow. Her promotion depends on cracking the network she has been hunting for months. When Vivian breaks into a suspected agent's computer, she finds a classified dossier containing names of deep-cover Russians embedded throughout the United States. The list should represent a major victory for American intelligence. Instead, it destroys her world. Her husband's name appears among the enemy agents. Vivian faces an impossible choice. Her oath demands she report all foreign operatives to the agency. But exposing her husband will shatter her marriage and leave her four children without a father. She must decide whether to protect her family or serve her country. The woman who built her life on uncovering deception now lives inside the biggest lie of all.
