It is 1940 & Mr Graham a quietly-spoken engineer & arms expert has just finished high-level talks with the Turkish government. & now somebody wants him dead. The previous night three shots were fired at him as he stepped into his hotel room so terrified he escapes in secret on a passenger steamer from Istanbul. As he journeys home
- alongside among others an entrancing French dancer an unkempt trader a mysterious German doctor & a small brutal man in a crumpled suit
- he enters a nightmarish world where friend & foe are indistinguishable. Graham can try to run but he may not be able to hide for much longer!
