Spoiler-free synopsis
Steve Rogers tries to find his place in the present while working with S.H.I.E.L.D. A series of attacks leads him to suspect that he cannot trust everything around him. With help from Black Widow and new allies, he faces a conspiracy and an adversary known as the Winter Soldier.
The pace of investigation and pursuit turns the story into a thriller about surveillance, trust and responsibility. Steve must navigate a world whose political rules he does not always recognise. Natasha offers a more pragmatic perspective, while Sam Wilson provides a new friendship that reveals Steve beyond the uniform and his military past.
