SYNOPSIS

It’s 1941. Europe is at war and espionage is the front line. As the rest of the world gets on with the small matter of World War II, Dublin’s light burns flagrantly and Europe’s intellectual elite are out to play. But suspicious messages on a radio show have drawn the attention of the MI5, and a diffident young code-breaker is dispatched to a Dublin crawling with spies and Nazi sympathizers to determine which side neutral Ireland is really on.
