When in Rome
In the highly-anticipated third season of the action-thriller series, Jack Ryan (Krasinski) is working as a CIA case officer in Rome, Italy, when he is tipped off about a dangerous threat named the Sokol Project. The goal of this top-secret plan is for Russia to restore the Soviet Empire, which the project itself is being resurrected more than 50 years after it was thought to have been shut down. Ryan embarks on a mission to confirm the intelligence, but things quickly go awry. After his mission ends in disaster, Ryan finds himself on the run as he is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy.
Being accused of treason with a Red Notice out for his arrest, Ryan is forced to run from his own government, hoping of uncovering the rogue faction before it’s too late. His fellow officer, CIA Officer James Greer (Wendell Pierce), will now have to try to piece together what is happening. Traveling all across Europe as he is hunted by former allies and new enemies alike, Ryan races against the clock to stop the cascade of destabilizing conflicts from leading to global catastrophe. Thus, he will have to operate underground in order to prevent what he fears may lead to global conflict.

The Sokol Project, which has its roots in the Cold War era, was abandoned but is now being revived with the goal of rebuilding the Soviet Empire.
An operation is quickly being prepared to seize nuclear weaponry being shipped by the Russians in the Black Sea. Instead of weaponry, Ryan encounters a Russian scientist who is familiar with the project and badly wants to be free. In an attempt to rescue the scientist from being arrested by the Russians, things rapidly go South and things end up contrary to Ryan’s hopes. With Ryan now on the run after the fallout of his failed operation in Greece, he must evade authorities both foreign and domestic before receiving help from an old friend, Mike November (Michael Kelly).
