Code Named "The November Man" veteran CIA officer Peter Devereaux retires from the agency in 2008 after his partner and protege David Mason disobeys orders from Devereaux not to fire on an assassin due to the lack of a good foreground and background, accidentally killing a child during a mission to protect a US Ambassador in Montenegro. Devereaux retires to Switzerland and opens up a coffee shop and lives a quiet life until the present day.
Peter's former boss, John Hanley, seeks out Devereaux in Switzerland and recruits him to extract a deep cover CIA operative from Russia, Natalia Ulanova. Ms. Ulanova has been posing as the aide of presidential candidate and former Russian Army General Arkady Fedorov and knows the name of a witness who can tie Fedorov to war crimes. Natalia will not turn over the name unless she is brought in and is directly asking for Peter's help in getting her out of Russia. Hanley raises the stakes for Peter by also telling him that some of Peter's fellow agents were killed by Arkady Fedorov's personal assassin Alexa, who is also assigned to murder all of Fedorov's former associates who have knowledge of his past crimes.
