Series logline: In 1961, a British double agent, retired and living under a new alias on the French Riviera, must thwart a corrupt government agent secretly leaking information to an underground organisation of Nazis, men he sabotaged many years ago.

Perhaps more than that, suddenly NYC becomes a battleground and all the colourful characters we?ve in the buildup all show their true colours (some duplicitous, some loyal, some betray him, etc). Opportunity – what you said.?
