Dem britischen Verleger Barley Blair wird in Moskau über die Russin Katja ein Manuskript des Sowjet-Physikers Dante zugespielt. In diesem Dossier beschreibt er die Rüstungslage der Glasnost-UdSSR als so desolat, daß der Westen – seiner Übermacht versichert – das Wettrüsten stoppen möge. Das Papier gelangt allerdings an den britischen Geheimdienst, der wiederum – mißtrauisch wie stets – Blair auf Dante ansetzt. Blair entdeckt während dieses Auftrags seine Liebe zu Katja und sein respektvolles Verständnis für Dante. Als sich der Widerspruch zwischen Blairs Gefühlswelt und seinem Agentenauftrag zuspitzt, wagt er ein gefährliches Doppelspiel.
