Oxford lecturer Perry Makepiece and barrister Gail Perkins meet Dima, a wealthy Russian money launderer, while on holiday in Antigua. Dima offers British intelligence access to criminal financial networks in exchange for protection for his family.

Perry and Gail are drawn into an unofficial operation that moves through Paris, London and the Swiss Alps. Their attempt to keep Dima's family safe exposes the limits of a service constrained by political influence, legal ambiguity and powerful financial interests.
