The series follows the adventures of John Phillips, an intelligence agent working undercover for the Defense Clandestine Service (DCS) in Eastern Europe, who is framed for murder by a DCS double agent and branded a traitor. With the help of his friends, Charles Cabot, cultural affairs attaché to the U.S. embassy in Paris, and Danny Montreau, a colonel in France's Special Action Directorate, Phillips's death is faked and he is given a new identity as John Stone. As John Stone, he works on covert special assignments while trying to clear his name. In his new life, John also interacts with his pretty landlord, Jacquie Decaux, an artist who runs a garage specializing in exotic cars.[1]
