In a gripping legal thriller, a British lawyer takes on the challenging case of defending an American scientist charged with the murder of his young wife, who was secretly working as a spy.

During the Cold War, an American scientist, posing as a newlywed, arrives in London to receive information from a defecting Hungarian scientist about a powerful virus that could be used as a biological weapon. After a covert meeting in a subway station, the American scientist memorizes the information, but the meeting is monitored by enemy agents. Later, the American scientist's "wife" is found shot dead in their hotel room, and he is arrested and accused of murder.
