PlotA woman with a notorious reputation is recruited by a government agent to infiltrate a group of Nazi sympathizers in post-World War II Brazil. Initially reluctant, she is persuaded by her loyalty to her father's legacy and her growing feelings for the agent. She gains the trust of the group's leader, posing as his lover, and secures an invitation to a lavish party held at his mansion. As she integrates herself deeper into the group, she discovers critical information that could expose their nefarious plans.
As the stakes rise, the woman finds herself in increasingly dangerous situations, testing her limits and resolve. Her deepening emotional connection with the agent complicates her mission, leading to tension and distrust. Surrounded by suspicion and imminent peril, she must navigate a web of deceit, all while maintaining her cover and the trust of the group’s leader. With each passing moment, the line between her true self and her assumed identity blurs, pushing her to the brink as she plays a delicate game of espionage and survival.
