It is not easy for ballerinas who have to end their careers prematurely. Until then, they had devoted their entire lives to dancing, and their preparation for real life was not perfect. Except for maximum self-discipline and the will to the extreme.
In addition, former prima ballerina Dominika Yegorov ( Jennifer Lawrence ) lives in today' s Russia and faces a bleak and uncertain future with her mother. As a result, he becomes an easy prey for Russia' s secret intelligence service and enters its course to train “herons.“ There is a hard training, the aim of which is to teach their “students“ to use their body and mind as perfect weapons in the role of professional seducers.
After a perverted and sadistic training, Dominika is deployed as the most dangerous heron to Nathaniel Nash (Joel Edgerton), a CIA officer who controls one of the most important spies in Russia. Dominika and Nathaniel lead a duel of strong wills full of spy tricks, mistrust, but above all they fight internally with the inevitable mutual desire.
Can Nathaniel convince her that he is the only person she can trust?
