The Secret Agent plot
We follow the story of secret agent Adolf Verloc. We are writing 1894, a period of unrest and anarchist violence in Europe, when anti-hero Verloc is forced by higher powers to commit a terrorist attack on the Greenwich Obervatory in London. Much to his dismay, his wife Winnie and her disabled brother Stevie are also dragged into the events. Soon the hapless Verloc finds himself faced with an impossible moral dilemma that can only prove fatal.
