M stays in the shadows serving an unscrupulous dictator, biding his time. He's loyal but who isn't? A canny operator, he knows all the political tricks of the trade and more. Once he sees the way the wind is blowing, he pulls together a cabal of traitors who, as soon as the Boss is pronounced dead, launches a campaign of nationalist disruption and disinformation. Everyone who wants power needs an army preferably backed by a major power. Russia is willing.
However, two of his henchmen rebel, dismayed by the military and its vicious onslaughts on innocent civilians. In return they are mercilessly hunted down, surviving bombardments, sieges, mass slaughtering and a hit man. An unlikely heroine turns out to be their saviour.
