Short Snyopsis: a glamorous game of spy-versus-spy where romance is a terrible idea but everyone does it anyway.

After her Nazi-sympathizing father lands in prison, party-loving Alicia Huberman is recruited by the U.S.

government to infiltrate a suspicious group of ex-Nazis in South America.

Her handler, Devlin, falls for her (professionally… and otherwise), then sends her straight into danger by marrying the enemy.

Cue secret agents, poisoned wine, uranium in the wine cellar (casual!), and a love story where no one ever says what they’re feeling until it’s almost too late.

Stylish, suspenseful, and proof that espionage is much messier when feelings get involved.
