Rush-hour commuters are flooding the railway station when the bomb goes off.
The bomber? An agent reporting to the British Intelligence Officer, Jake Winter, who was responsible for preventing the attack. With his conscience and career in tatters, Jake has to rest all his hopes on a new recruit: a young man named Rashid who seems to be the answer the MI5 have been waiting for.
But how can Jake - haunted by his last mistake - be sure that Rashid isn't playing a double game? After all, who can you trust when you no longer trust yourself?
