Amid the covert political games of the Cold War, an eccentric Texas congressman with a taste for hard-partying ways joins forces with an influential socialite and a disgraced CIA operative on an ambitious mission. Moved by compassion for the rebels after visiting a refugee camp, the politician pulls every string to orchestrate massive clandestine funding and arms shipments to counter the Soviet army. Driven by intrigue, cunning deals, and backroom budget maneuvers, this risky international gambit gradually escalates into the largest covert operation in intelligence history. Together, they are set to shift the global balance of power and alter the course of a defining historical conflict.
