"With the Cold War in full swing and to gain an advantage in the arms race, the Kremlin funds a Biological Warfare Weapons Research Facility and builds the town of Yacheyka on the edge of the Baltic Sea to house the scientists and their families—off the grid and not shown on any maps. An accident at the facility in the 1960s leads to the release of a deadly pathogen that instantly kills all traces of life up to a radius of ten miles. Scared of further contamination from the scientists' mortal creation, the Russians impose a fifty-mile exclusion zone around the facility, sealing the dead town in time.
Agneta Bergqvist, a wealthy Swedish entrepreneur, environmentalist and climate activist, decides to teach humankind a lesson, enters the facility and steals the deadly weapon. With news of the theft reaching London, MI6 agent Mac selects British Army Captain Kirkland Finn to infiltrate Bergqvist's terrorist group and recover the biological weapon."
