Stationed in the Soviet Union, U.S. spy Jeff West (Edward Albert) is betrayed by the C.I.A. and, after a fixed trial, sentenced to certain death at a dreaded gulag for political prisoners. He assumes the name of a dead petty thief to reroute himself to a minimum security camp, where he plans his escape over the icy tundra. The suspicious camp commander, Kolya, sends for the dead thief's beautiful wife, who has the power to expose West but instead begins a deep love affair. Locked in a final confrontation, West and Kolya face off over thirty-nine miles of ice as the brutal game climaxes in a final run to freedom. (official distributor synopsis)
