Determined to protect his home and way of life, Garrett begins investigating Talon, only to uncover a global conspiracy involving former Russian special forces.

When Talon’s top operative, Russian spy Alexi Orlov, kidnaps Garrett’s CIA ally, Kim Manning, the conflict escalates into an all-out war.
