Paul Bryan, who is terminally ill, is thrilled to reunite with a childhood sweetheart. However, she confides in him that three countries, including the U.S., are spying on her. After evading Paul in West Berlin, she reveals that her husband, a British 00 agent, is presumed dead but his body was never found. The CIA, having violated Paul's civil rights, discovers he has only a year or two left to live. They leverage this information to pressure Paul, a Korean War top gun, into helping the U.S. determine if her husband, Biff Henderson, is alive. This would help MI5 rule out defection or kidnapping.

Mrs. Henderson's attempt to enter Soviet-controlled Czechoslovakia alerted the CIA to her situation. Paul had turned down an offer to run for Attorney General, choosing instead to live fully before his time runs out. He is supposed to stay in touch with his physician in case a cure is found for his illness.

Now, Paul faces a dilemma: does he continue his solitary tour of Europe, embracing his remaining days, or does his concern for the beautiful, desperate widow outweigh his personal plans and his sense of patriotism? The decision will test Paul's resolve and the depth of his character in the face of his mortality
