Description

A disillusioned young British journalist, Harry Marks, is drawn into a covert intelligence operation in Istanbul by a charismatic agent named James. What begins as a casual friendship spirals into espionage, murder, and manipulation as Harry unknowingly becomes a pawn in a rogue Anglo-American mission to seize Saddam Hussein’s stolen wealth. Haunted, hunted, and morally compromised, Harry must choose between loyalty, survival, and the truth.
