In the chilling aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, retired U.S. Navy analyst Gordon Riker intercepts a buried Cold War transmission—one that suggests the entire standoff was not only avoidable, but deliberately escalated by powerful forces on both sides of the Iron Curtain. When Riker cross-references the signal with archived communications routed through Nova Scotia, he uncovers a pattern: fabricated threats, falsified military positions, and the suppressed voice of a Soviet submarine commander offering coordinates in good faith—days before Washington publicly claimed “provocation.”
Haunted by the realization that he may have unknowingly participated in the greatest lie of the 20th century, Riker turns to an estranged former lover—Lenka Baranova, a sharp, sardonic MI6 field analyst with her own secrets and scars. Together, they unravel a classified program known as Project Keystone, a joint Anglo-American initiative designed to control narrative flow through manipulated signal intelligence and buried submarine cables. Its aim wasn’t to prevent war, but to frame the terms of peace to ensure perpetual advantage.
What begins as a quiet investigation becomes a global chase as Riker and Lenka find themselves hunted by a ruthless intelligence architect, Agent Crowell, who not only enforces Keystone’s secrecy but helped design it. As they race across Europe collecting fragments of truth—from dying analysts, corrupted transmission logs, and exiled Cold War operatives—they must choose between self-preservation and exposure, knowing full well that no government will protect them once the signal goes public.
Each episode peels back another layer of conspiracy, betrayal, and moral ambiguity—culminating in a global data leak that may rewrite Cold War history… or be buried all over again.
