In a small seaside village in Maine, a retired CIA operative confronts her haunting past in this gripping spy thriller. Former spy Maggie Bird sought refuge in Purity, hoping to escape the repercussions of a disastrous mission that led to her early retirement. Living quietly on her chicken farm, she is caught off guard when a body appears in her driveway, signaling that her former enemies have not forgotten her. Maggie enlists the help of her local circle of friends, all retired CIA agents, to uncover the truth behind the threat against her. This “Martini Club” of ex-spies, while enjoying their quieter lives, is eager to tap into their old skills to tackle the danger that has resurfaced. However, their efforts are complicated by the town's acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau, who is more accustomed to managing rowdy tourists than solving homicides. Jo is baffled by Maggie's secrecy and her friends' mysterious activities, which seem to outpace her investigation. As Jo’s inquiry intertwines with the Martini Club’s actions, Maggie is drawn back into her past, revisiting a career that took her from Bangkok to Istanbul and beyond. With the support of her friends and the reluctant Jo, Maggie must confront her ghosts to protect the life she has built.
