May, 1995: An American spy- a “Superagent” in the most covert and powerful espionage program in U.S. history- is murdered in London. Six weeks later, his replacement, an ex-FBI agent newly renamed John Apparite, meets with the head of this super-secret agency, an enigmatic man he knows only as the “Director”. Apparite accepts the assignment willingly; after his parents’ tragic deaths. He prefers a life where his only expectation is to do his duty, and where personal relationships, he believes, are unknown.
