1962. A U2 spy plane discovers the presence of nuclear missiles less than 100 miles off the US mainland. President Kennedy orders the US on DefCon 2 and begins a naval blockade of Cuba. The CIA releases Ramon Santos from Leavenworth and infiltrates him in the jungles of the tiny island nation to report the locations of Soviet SAMs. In the process, he uncovers a Soviet plot to undermine the allies' defenses by sabotaging NATO's Jupiter missile systems in Turkey. As Kennedy and Khrushchev play a tense game of nuclear brinksmanship, the 513th Intelligence orders Waters and Washington to uncover the conspiracy and stop a group known only as "The Five" from carrying out their sinister plot. With the unlikely assistance of a KGB Intelligence Officer, the team races across the globe in a manhunt that stretches from the streets of Havana and Istanbul to Metro 2, Moscow's legendary underground city, and a final showdown on the streets of Frankfurt.
