Plot Summary: Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a former soldier working in a Cairo hotel, discovers evidence against international arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie), but his attempt to help British intelligence to capture the criminal has disastrous consequences. Five years later, he is based in Switzerland, working at a hotel that he discovers is regularly frequented by Roper. Determined to make amends for his previous failure, he reunites with Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), his contact at British intelligence, and they form a plan to infiltrate the arms dealer’s inner circle.
