The year is 1944. "When the Military Attache is arrested for espionage, her boss, the former Assistant Military Attach, tasks Phyllis with finding out what happened. The arrest throws suspicion on everyone at the Embassy, particularly the Military Attache's personal secretary-a woman whose attempted suicide convinces Phyllis that not all that meets the eye is as it seems. With bombs still falling on a devastated city, Phyllis begins asking questions. But she never imagined the dark underbelly of diplomacy standing before her-threatening everything and everyone."
