Set during the height of the Cold War and covers a week in the life of fictional character Victor Godeanu, played by SecÄreanu ("God's Own Country," "Ammonite," "Happy Valley"), the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae CeauČescu. However, Godeanu is also a secret agent for the KGB and must escape Romania and CeauČescu before his cover is blown. With only one shot at staying alive, he uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to the United States. Helped by an undercover Stasi agent and former flame played by Svenja Jung ("Deutschland89"), and an up-and-coming CIA agent played by Parker Sawyers ("Southside with You"), Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country's spooks, fully aware that his defection is putting his family back home in mortal danger.
