In the frosty streets of 1920 Vladivostok, a weary American soldier named Johnny Thompson watches a brutal brawl unfold beneath the dim glow of a church clock. When a knife slips from the fight and lands at his feet, his instinct to keep the peace collides with the harsh reality of a city teeming with hidden agendas and foreign operatives.
Johnny’s quiet night quickly spirals into a tense cat-and-mouse game as he discovers that the wounded combatant is being pursued by a mysterious Japanese figure. With medals of past wars tucked away and a reluctant sense of duty stirring, he finds himself juggling a stolen blade, secretive allies, and the ever‑watchful eyes of military police. The opening act thrusts listeners into a world of shadowy alliances, where a single decision can tip the balance between survival and betrayal.
