Athens, November 1915. A City Buffeted by the chaos of war, a city swarming with spies and opportunists. When a British counter espionage unit is contacted by a man from Smyrna, it seems that a bold new plan is afoot to cut through the Turkish defences at nearby Gallipoli…. until the finding of the man’s body in a room set aside for the meeting. An Australian-born agent Robert Kaub is drawn into the investigation, and is soon forced to confront memories of love and betrayal in prewar Athens. An ominous note, an old coin from Ephesus, cryptic cables - Robert’s discoveries bring him eventually to a place where things could go either way for the Allied cause.
