Genre:
Historical Spy Thriller
Casablanca meets Notorious in
a Hitchcock-style thriller of espionage, romance, adventure, and
intrigue.
During
the Great War in 1917, Emma Christensen is a young widow who returns
to the islands to reclaim the life and the villa she left behind.
When she discovers that her husband has disinherited her in favor of
his young heir—an illegitimate son—she soon finds herself
penniless. She is approached by Cornelius Smith, a businessman who
offers her an alternative: infiltrate the suspicious Hamburg-American
Line and spy on its nefarious leader, Julius Luckner, to gain
valuable business intelligence for his firm. It doesn’t take long
for Emma to realize that both Smith and Luckner are not as they seem.
Close to the Allies but even closer to the enemy, Emma bravely
engages in missions that could blow her cover at any moment. But with
the Panama Canal at stake, how far will she go to help the Allies? A
thriller in the style of Hitchcock that will keep you on the edge of
your seat.
