What happens when a young Lyle Black, adventurer, scoff-law, and general purpose knuckle head, travels to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, and falls in love with a Russian girl? Who is the mysterious girl with the lovely smile? Who are the cousins visiting her? What does her boss think of her taking a day off on short notice? When can they see each other again? Only one thing is for certain. If he really does love her, Lyle Black is not going to let a little thing like the Iron Curtain stand in his way.
