The life of a spy is seldom rewarding. Deceiving everyone you know to infiltrate the enemy's organization will tear apart families and friendships. Such is the case with Matt Cvetic.
A patriotic American, he was too short to be an enlisted man during World War 2. Seeing that he had desperately wanted to serve and realizing that his Slavic heritage would be an asset, the FBI approached him wanting a man on their side to infiltrate the whole U.S. communist network. Cvetic soon became a trusted and loyal comrade to the red cause. And he suddenly found his life in constant danger as his new associates would do everything to test those loyalties.

During the House Committee on Un-American Activities, Cvetic was finally released from his life of espionage imposed social exile. He testified, naming names, and finally received the accolades that he deserved. His new fame led to a series in the Saturday Evening Post, which led to a radio serial, which led to a feature length film.
Unfortunately this new fame didn't last long. The strains of not being able to tell his own family the truth for all of those years, led to a distraught wife who eventually divorced him. He died a broken man in 1962.
