Kenneth Aubrey, head of SIS, sends an agent into Finnish Lapland to check up on some evidence of Soviet activity in the area. The agent finds a small town, deserted of all it's inhabitants. In their place he finds Red Army troops, using the town as a rehearsal for an invansion. In Moscow, KGB Major Alexei Vorontsyev stumbles onto the other end of the plot. Suspicious of his estranged wife's lover, he's almost killed when he walks into a trap meant to kill him. What could make matters worse? The Soviet leaders are in Helsinki for peace talks with the Americans, which leaves room for the hard liners of the Red Army to plan a coup, a new revolution, and invade Scandinavia. Vorontsyev and his entourage investigate the Russian end and Aubrey must keep up with the Soviet leaders in Finland.
