Calvin Petterson, one of the CIA's top black ops agents, is sent with his team discreetly to North Korea, where an extremist general is believed to have ambitions to illegally use a nuclear weapon. However, he's captured, becoming "acquainted" with the criminals they were supposed to arrest. After six months prisoner in a gulag, he escaped with a former North Korean soldier, enemy of his enemy. Together, they're picked up by the CIA and decide to hunt down their enemies, who are looking for an ancient artifact that could make them invincible, which is unlikely, but many people could die on the way. Whether on the frozen lands of Iceland, or in the hot streets of Cairo, the fate of the world could be in danger because of an implausible legend, but the willingness of some men is matched only by their cruelties... or their determination !
