The year is 1968. The liberal reforms of Czechoslovakia's new leader, Alexander Dubcek, have outraged the Kremlin and now, 250,000 Warsaw Pact forces are amassed on the borders. The situation is worsened when their prime source threatens to cut them off unless one demand is met: a totally safe contact. For CIA veteran Alan Curtis, jazz musician Gene Williams seems the ideal choice. His invitation the Prague Jazz Festival and perfect cover and access to Prague.
