Trick the Russians into recruiting him as their mole inside the CIA. But once Veer arrives in Brazil, he discovers a complication—the Russians have four doppelgängers, all competing to become “Veer.” What should be a slam dunk becomes a brutal six-month psychological gauntlet, as Veer repeatedly fails to live up to his own legend. Forced to confront the disconnect between who he thinks he is and who he actually is, Veer spirals into an identity crisis. The only way to outwit the Russians and reclaim control of his life is to face an unbearable truth: the real Veer Miller might be someone he never wanted to know.
