When SunHee Nham, a disaffected North Korean computer scientist working in China decides to escape her conscription, she takes a few secrets with her. Her dream of living in freedom in the U.S. begins to prey on her mind when she thinks about the hardships under which her fellow countrymen are forced to live. After a chance meeting with John Darque, the head of a covert organization charged with maintaining the balance of power in the world, the two form a partnership to destroy a weapon system she developed for use against Western nations. When she becomes aware of pursuing Chinese agents, she knows her freedom will be short lived. To make matters worse, she realizes her association with Darque's group will put it in danger of being exposed. SunHee's noticeable depression changes for the better when Darque posses a plan to turn the tables o a group of rogue nations intent on using the technologies she developed to blackmail the rest of the world. She agrees to help Darque with his plan in the hope that the results will create the spark of change needed to better lives of her countrymen. However, with change comes sacrifice, and sometimes the price of sacrifice can be very high.
