No matter what she does to get out of the spy game, Natasha's past keeps catching up with her. With the help of a retired agent from her old S.H.I.E.L.D. days, the Black Widow investigates the murder of a woman and makes a startling discovery.

The Widow comes home to Moscow for the first time in ages - and what she finds there ain't pretty. The Motherland has changed a lot in the years since Natasha left the KGB. Picking up the pieces of her lost past leads her straight back to the elite black-ops training academy known only as the Red Room...or what's left it. The secrets she discovers about her training there will shatter her past and send shockwaves deep into her future.
