Thu 17 – Fri 18 July

A Covert Affair

In the icy heart of the Cold War, an undercover agent and a loyal comrade are given a simple task: charm, deceive, and extract state secrets.

The two are monitored by their Wires, older agents who attempt to instill professionalism and discipline in their protegees. Agent, a well meaning but naïve negotiator, is a man who loves life’s simple pleasures, and feels somewhat trepidatious about the task that has been assigned to him.

Comrade however is a steely operator, shrewd and skilled, she faces each task with a grim determination. But what happens when the line between mission and emotion blurs?

As their staged dates rack up (on the company card, naturally), half-truths give way to real feelings — and the greatest risk becomes falling in love.
