Davies wants to take the listed agents into custody; meanwhile, those on the list start dying under mysterious circumstances.

A chilling, paranoia-inducing thriller where trust is a luxury no one can afford. The steady pace builds a suffocating atmosphere of suspicion, making every shadow a potential threat and every conversation a veiled deception.
