The "code" in question
refers to a pivotal telephone number - 11 digits that, when dialed, will
trigger a global apocalypse by instantly setting off catastrophic nuclear
devices in four metropolises around the world. As this Russian-language
thriller opens, two individuals find their lives, and futures, at the mercy
of "The Code"; FSB Agent Darya (Anastasiya Zavorotnyuk) sets out to defuse
the devices in question and render the 11 digits ineffective, while the
psychotic Louis Devier (Vincent Perez) wants nothing less than to attain
those elusive numbers and use them to completely wipe humankind from the
face of the Earth. These two embark on a head-to-head conflict, in a transcontinental
race against time that will carry each through such exotic locales as Norway,
Malaysia and Italy. Moreover, the stakes are not simply political, but
personal: Louis caused significant emotional and psychological grief for
Darya by murdering her lover. Nevertheless, Darya is forbidden from enacting
vengeance, and must focus exclusively on her mission at hand, however difficult
the task.
