Synopsis:

Jeremy Jordan and Alexandra Chen hope to make a quiet home together but struggle to find a space safe from their personal secrets. For Jeremy, this means leaving behind his former life as an intelligence operative during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, while for Alexandra, a vocation in image control for whole countries cannot prepare her for the challenge of guarding a beloved brothers confidences or learning more of his mysterious history. In a culture pervaded by surveillance, Jeremy and Alexandra will go to great lengths to protect what is closest to them and answer the question of whether they are as loved as they love. Spanning decades and continents, their saga brings them into contact with a down-and-out online journalist, shadowy security professionals, and technology experts, each of whom has a different understanding of whether information really protects us and how to build a world worth trusting in our paranoid age.
