When we last saw Black Widow she was being hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D. She had also had her secrets revealed by the Weeping Lion whom she had just defeated after discovering that there was another Red Room like the one she came from being run by the same Headmistress and Recluse her daughter training young assassins. Black Widow intends to put a stop to it and save the girls, but she'll need the Weeping Lion's help.
Black Widow and the Weeping Lion break into the Red Room but are too late. The girls have been sent out on their assignments. The only ones there are the Headmistress and Recluse. The Weeping Lion tries to read the Headmistress's mind to find their location, but she pulls out a gun and shoots herself in the head to prevent this. He reads Recluse, but she knows nothing. Recluse picks up the gun to shoot Natasha, but Natasha tells her that she has always tried to be just like her and failed because she is too weak and that she'll never pull the trigger and Natasha easily disarms her.
The Weeping Lion was able to pick up the site of one of the assassins from the dying woman and it's the White House. He and Natasha go in undercover to try to find her only to discover that there is more than one girl there. Now she must try to save the target and try to save the girls from being shot by Secret Service at the same time.
Later she finds that Recluse is not so weak after all when she is led into a trap Recluse has set with Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, as the bait. Also, Bucky has been keeping something from her. This book is about a lot of secrets that come to light, hence the title of the comic. It is a pretty amazing conclusion to the story that reminds you how Black Widow is so badass, yet how she also secretly cares deeply.
