Kate Moore built her marriage on a lie. She never told her husband Dexter about her work at the CIA. When Dexter lands a job in Luxembourg, Kate sees her chance to escape Washington and leave her agent identity behind forever. She wants a fresh start with her family in this new country. But the expat community breeds suspicion. Dexter refuses to answer simple questions about his new position. An eager American couple, Julia and Bill, pushes too hard for friendship. Kate realizes nobody knows her true identity, but she may not know anyone else either. Each secret she uncovers leads to another mystery. Far from home and surrounded by strangers, Kate can trust only herself to solve this puzzle. The woman who spent years deceiving others must now determine who is deceiving her.
