Colonel Jack Marsh, decorated for bravery during World War 1, is now with M15 working closely with the PM Mr Chamberlain.
in1938 Hitlers armed forces are on a relentless assault across Europe, Jews are being rounded up and sent to concentration camps, trying to escape anyway they can.
Adolph Vanir and his wife, Florence, are such Jews, arriving in the UK around 1934.  Living in St. Anne's Court where he has a small business, as well as his clandestine activities he has forsaken his Jewish roots, much to the sadness of his wife.  Colonel Marsh becomes aware of Adolph Vanir's activities and has instructed a colleague to watch him.

The formation of the Local Defence Volunteers and Air Raid Patrol in 1937 took men who were unable to go to war for one reason or another.  Harry Lloyd was one of them.  a worker at the London Docks making ships, he was exempt from call up, though he was a soldier between wars.  Married to Mattie, and with one child, Lorna, perhaps Harry was saved for better things.
The Vanirs and the Lloyds cross paths and are linked to the assassination attempt of the War Minister, the man who is now Prime Minister.
