A wealthy British woman, struggling with a failing marriage and the perceived indifference of her husband, finds herself drawn into a dangerous world of espionage and intrigue. She becomes entangled with a charming American agent who promises escape and excitement, but soon discovers that nothing is as it seems and her life is in peril.
