NSA is alerted; his former superiors learn that Marston has uncovered their plan to test deadly viruses and has evidence to prove it, Marston becomes a target hunted by the mysterious rogue NSA unit, Project A. He and his wife Laura are fired upon and find themselves on the run through New York State. Their home in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, is burned to the ground. News reports claim that for several years the Marstons have been Soviet agents.
