## Synopsis

Several weeks after killing Khaled Al-Asad who retreated to the United Republic of Adal, Task Force 141 are on the brink of yet another global threat in the form of an old adversary, Ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov, whom had framed the United States as perpetrators in the hijackings of three Russian airliners on December 3rd, 2022. This event quickly escalates into volatile tensions between the US and Russia, as Alena Vorshevsky, daughter to the Russian President, was onboard and killed during Makarov's hijackings. Task Force 141 mobilizes to uncover and reveal the truth before a war between the US and Russia breaks out and works with several contacts to find and locate Makarov before his influence ignites the warring cries of war from the Russian populace.
