It's The Unsinkable Molly Brown meets The Spy Who Came in from the Cold when American high-schooler, Tyra Soroca comes to the defense of her school's 1963 Soviet foreign exchange student, Agar Ogarev. After the lad is thrown out by his host family, Tyra talks her only guardian, her Uncle Floyd, into sponsoring the Soviet boy. Things roll along smoothly as no student dares to challenge Tyra's resolve to protect her Russian friend-until her uncle dies. Tyra is thrown into a foster home while the State Department ponders a cover story to explain Agar's unexpected early return to the U.S.S.R. The teens' cold war Romeo and Juliet love for one another forces Tyra to run away; and through the foreign student exchange organization, she offers the State Department the perfect solution.
