The Transatlantic Intelligence Agency (TIA) is a renowned intelligence outfit with its headquarters in Zürich. It recruits youths from the streets of Europe and the US to become its best spies, often supplying them to agencies like Interpol to complete their missions. Special Agents Kaia Winter, Miranda Liu and Marco Soler are three of the best at TIA, each specialising in a different field. When two high-profile civilians placed under witness protection disappear mysteriously, TIA assembles a team of their three best spies to bring them back safely. Agents Winter, Soler and Liu have been assigned a mission which can potentially get them killed, but first, can Winter and Soler learn not to kill each other? Follow the agents as they follow the trails-from the dazzling lights of Paris and Florence, to the dark alleys of old London, to the enticing bazaars of Istanbul. One thing's certain-it definitely won't be a smooth ride.
