In 1961, a British double agent, assigned to stop a uranium smuggling operation run by a secret organization of Nazis, falls for the chief Nazi?s fiancee.
thwart an underground organisation of Nazis smuggling uranium (I mention that earlier - but again, I want to keep things lean. The uranium is just a MacGuffin).I know I'm sacrificing specificity. Also, my best hope is that there are innate stakes in mentioning "underground organisation of Nazis".

Quick synopsis of first episode. (without giving away their names)
For the first ten pages – it should be an act of discovery. We find out this mysterious rich playboy is a spy… then we find out he?s not in love with this girl but seducing her to get closer to her father… then we find out he?s falling for the fiancee… (then we find out it might be a double bluff and he?s doing some manipulating, etc.)? then we find he’s being manipulated… then we find out he’s in more in control then he lets on…?
A British double agent seduces the daughter of a wealthy American expatriate, a suspected Nazi war criminal.
He is soon invited to stay for the weekend – as a means to get closer. However, once there – he begins to fall in love with the Nazi war criminal?s fiancee, a French trophy wife (with a past life as a prostitute as well as a war hero, she too is a great puppet master and actress). As the agent gets closer, the expatriate begins to recognise him but is unable to place him…
Not only that, the agent is blackmailed by his colleague who threatens to expose his existence to the same underground Nazis they are trying to entrap. It now seems his colleague has other plans and seems to be playing another game (or – this could be a bluff). (Also, no surprise, this is the midpoint/point of no return.)
The agent reveals to the trophy wife that he is after her soon-to-be husband and that her husband was a double agent (for the Germans and still is). Though the trophy wife, at first, protects him. She later reveals his identity to her fianc?.
The expatriate forces her to seduce the agent as a means to get information on who, why, etc…
However, it turns out (telling her in the hopes she?d reveal his identity to her fiancee) was part of the agent?s master plan. A double bluff. His plan is not to move closer to them, but for them to move closer to him? (CUT TO BLACK/END OF PILOT – but not before a quick flashback that reveals how the Expatriate recognises the Agent).
And so begins a dangerous game where it seems everyone has a hidden agenda, where alliances change, and loyalties are tested?
(Think: The Talented Mr Ripley meets La Piscine meets Notorious).
Okay. What does everyone think?

PILOT LOGLINE: (using logline.it/formula 1)
“When a British double agent is assigned to take down a suspected Nazi war criminal, he seduces his daughter but soon begins to fall in love with his suspicious fiancee.”
Formula 2: Masquerade is a spy thriller about a British double agent who must entrap a suspected Nazi war criminal.
Formula 3:
Who… British double agent.?
Strives for… Taking down Nazi.?
Stands in his way… Two women. Himself (his carnal desires). The Nazi war criminal.
(Admittedly, I chopped “1961” so you might immediately think the Nazi war criminal is in his 90s. But at the same time, you’re quite likely to read this one the same time you read the series logline).
