London, 1886. Adolf Verloc, storeowner by day and secret agent by night, has been assigned the task of destroying the Greenwich Observatory. Behind his seemingly harmless exterior as a devoted husband and businessman lie dark secrets, private alliances, and dangerous motives.
As the story unfolds, Verloc's secrets unravel with devastating consequences that threaten his livelihood, his young wife, and her simple-minded brother.
Joseph Conrad's captivating story of love, suspicion, and secrecy is based on real events.
