In the summer of 1999, American college student Tom Harrington embarks on a backpacking trip through Europe, dreaming of adventure and discovery. But his journey takes a terrifying turn when a ruthless organization of former spies, known as Phoenix, believes he holds the key to stolen intelligence-a microchip that contains secrets that could change the world order. Suddenly thrust into a high-stakes game of international espionage, Tom teams up with the enigmatic veteran spy Harry Fletcher and his off-the-books British Intelligence Agency. Together, they race against time across breathtaking landscapes from the rugged hills of Scotland to the romantic streets of Paris, the canals of Venice, and the alpine peaks of Switzerland. As the sinister forces of Phoenix close in, every decision carries deadly consequences. With the fate of Europe hanging in the balance, Tom must navigate a web of deceit and danger, where one wrong move could ignite World War III.
