Set against the backdrop of Poland's 1981 martial law, the narrative explores the intense geopolitical tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States. It highlights Ronald Reagan's early presidency and his decision to initiate a covert CIA operation named QRHELPFUL, aimed at bolstering the Solidarity trade union.
