A straightforward yet reserved British subject (Barbara), sharing a quiet life with

intelligence agent who cites national security and sets up shop in the couple's
bedroom to watch for a 'suspicious character' seen in the vicinity. But the agent
is really after the family's neighbors, one of which is Barbara's very dear friend.
As the intrigue intensifies, Barbara undergoes a crisis of conscience that tests her
loyalties, her confidences, and her sense of ethics.
