Clint Smith is sent to Korea to help Deer get back to the U.S. and finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the North Koreans.

Not knowing whether she'll help or not, Clint discovers that he has approached the one person in the city who will bring him face to face to the North Koreans and the endgame.
