Paco Arraya is a Russian illegal agent introduced into the United States during the times of the Soviet Union. In the winter of 2000, Paco receives two missions from the Mission: Impossible series. He must try to find a Russian general who was kidnapped with his family by Chechen militants and taken to Afghanistan. And also to steal the largest of the Pandshir emeralds, which is needed for bargaining with an Arab prince. Very soon, two more tasks will be added to these, equally impracticable: to save your group and to survive yourself. Everything would be fine, but there’s a problem: Paco just can’t sleep.
