Plot
In 1991, the United States is finalizing a major trade agreement with China, prompting heightened diplomatic sensitivities. Tom Bishop, a covert CIA operative, is captured during an unauthorized mission in Suzhou and faces execution within 24 hours. Bishop's actions, unsanctioned by the agency, threaten to derail the impending U.S.-China deal. CIA executives summon Nathan Muir, a veteran case officer on the verge of retirement, to evaluate Bishop’s history and determine whether the agency should intervene.
