Oberleutnant Walter Klampe, a German intelligence officer in Vienna, debriefs his command on a recent failed operation involving the Russian Okhrana, the Austro-Hungarian Evidenzbureau, and Klampe's organization, Abteilung III b. After being blindfolded and guided to a secret location, Klampe finds himself at a table in a cold, dark room across from a mysterious man. He quickly realizes that this isn't a debrief but an interrogation and finds himself in the middle of a larger plot that threatens his plans for the future.
