Season One
The series follows spymaster Professor Wolfgang McGee, an academic who secretly manages a roster of espionage assets. These assets, referred to as Romeo or Juliet spies, are informants engaged in intimate relations with intelligence targets. Wolfgang himself is a semi-retired Romeo operator, having worked his way up in an officially deniable "service" under the umbrella of Canada's intelligence community. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Romeo and Juliet recruits infiltrate the city’s heroin trade and keep eyes on an asylum seeker, while their handler searches for the elusive faction leader of the Red Mountain Triad.
Season Two
In the Le Carre-esque second season, the master of espionage, Wolfgang McGee, steps away from his role of asset handler to investigate an attempted bombing in Vancouver. The case comes to Wolfgang through Harry, a shadowy government figure, who is first to present the theory that the attack could have been a false flag operation. For help, Wolfgang calls upon an old acquaintance, a black-balled spy named Norman. Together they review the chain of events surrounding the attack to uncover massive holes and blunders, either made by human error or deliberate sabotage. To find out which, the two spies wade into the mystery.
Meanwhile, separated from Wolfgang, former assets Rufus and Lily use their Romeo skills to seduce their way up the ladder — in the heroin trade and espionage circles.
