November 1945. John Russell går hjem gennem efterkrigstidens grå London-gader, da hans gamle kammerat, sovjetagenten Jevgenij Sjtjepkin, falder i trit med ham. Han fortæller Russell, at hans overordnede i Moskva har besluttet, at det er på tide, at Russell gør gengæld for, at de sørgede for, at han kom sikkert ud af Rusland i krigens sidste dage. Russell skal vende tilbage til Berlin, spionere mod sine tidligere kolleger i det tyske kommunistparti og rapportere alle afvigelser fra den stalinistiske linje. Og hvad der er værre, så får han ordre til at tilbyde amerikanerne sine tjenester – kort sagt, at blive dobbeltagent på Stalins lønningsliste. Men Russell ved kun alt for godt, hvor kort den forventede levetid for en dobbeltagent er. Han og Sjtjepkin, der langt om længe har mistet troen på det sovjetiske utopia, fostrer sammen en plan for at genvinde friheden. Der står meget på spil både for Russell og hans kæreste Effi, der er fulgt med ham til Berlin. De vil få brug for al deres kløgt – og lidt held – for at overleve i en verden, der næres af paranoia og er på randen af en ny, ’kold’ krig.
