Several years after becoming a fugitive from the U.S. and Russian governments, Jack Bauer lives a quiet life under an assumed identity in Odessa, Ukraine, where he has found work as a longshoreman and a new love. A plea for help from his friend and colleague Petro, saddled with his dead brother's debts to the Russian mafia, unexpectedly brings Jack face-to-face with an adversary from his former life, and also threatens to expose his whereabouts to CIA agents tasked with bringing him to justice.
