Nicky Marlow needs a job. He�s engaged to be married and the employment market in Britain in 1937 is pretty slim. So when his fianc�e points out the position with an English armaments manufacturer in Italy, he jumps at the chance. Soon after he arrives, however, he learns the sinister truth about his predecessor�s departure and finds himself courted by two agents with dangerously different agendas. In the process, Marlow realizes that it�s not so simple just to do the job he�s paid for � not in fascist Italy, on the eve of a world war.
