She enters a dehumanising training programme where the candidates, selected for their beauty, are taught the arts of violence, persuasion and seduction, for the good of the country, before being sent into the field. Dominika tries to follow her mother's advice to keep back a small part of herself deep inside, which she is not surrendering to the authorities. She goes as an operative on a mission to uncover the identity of a double agent working for the Russian government who has been passing information to Nate Nash, a CIA operative working in Moscow.
