Facing an uncertain future and desperate to secure medical care for her ailing mother, Dominika is coerced by her uncle, a high-ranking Russian intelligence officer, into joining a secret state intelligence service known as the “Sparrow School.” This program trains exceptional young operatives—both male and female—to use their bodies and minds as weapons through intense psychological and sexual manipulation. Dominika is transformed into a “Sparrow,” an agent skilled in seduction and spycraft.
Her first major mission sends her to Budapest to make contact with and compromise CIA operative Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), who is believed to be communicating with a high-level mole, codenamed “Marble,” inside the Russian SVR. Dominika and Nate engage in a complex, high-stakes game of psychological chess, where the line between genuine attraction and manipulation is constantly blurred.
As Dominika navigates a treacherous world of betrayal, torture, and conflicting loyalties, she must outmaneuver both the Americans and her own merciless Russian handlers to determine her true path, ultimately leading to a shocking, final twist that reveals the identity of the mole and secures her own survival.
