Plot summary

While on holiday in Marrakech, the English couple Perry and Gail meet a man called Dima, who pretends to be a Russian businessman. They cannot suspect that he is actually in the service of the Russian mafia and works as a money launderer. After an assassination attempt on one of his colleagues, he also fears for his own life and that of his children. He therefore wants to leave his previous life behind and cooperate with the British secret service. He has chosen Perry, who is as harmless as he is inconspicuous, as his intermediary. The Briton is supposed to help Dima make contact and hand over a USB stick with secret data on mafia members to MI6. Perry agrees, but quickly realizes that his task is by no means finished with the handover of the stick: Dima only wants to negotiate with MI6 if Perry is also present. Perry and Dima soon meet their contact Hector, who is to lead the operation. The two don't know if they can trust the agent at all, but he is the only option to get Dima to London unharmed. Step by step, Perry and his wife Gail get more and more caught between the fronts of the Russian mafia and MI6.
