After an exchange not without scares at the Tehran airport, it has to manage to carry out a series of hacks that allows it to access Iranian systems with the aim that its country can bomb the city without being discovered. For this plan, the agent infiltrates the role of a young woman whose physical resemblance is striking, though not identical, which also causes her problems.
