SYNOPSIS
Deep in the rugged terrain of the Arctic Circle, Agent Clara has obtained a sought-after doomsday device, and must transport it safely. Alone on her mission, she is hunted by the relentless mercenary known as ‘The Interceptor’ who has been hired to get the device from her - by any means necessary. Follow their journey through the wilderness, the city, and even the skies as the two battle it out to see who will fulfill their mission.
But what appears to be a high-stakes dance between two agents turns out to be something quite different: a secret audience is watching their every move.
