Classified

Two decades of field work have hardened Evan Shaw into a lone CIA operative, treating each assignment as a cold, clinical routine, found through a Help Wanted ad and followed with robotic precision. His daughter Kacey, now a UK MI6 analyst, investigates his patterns and triggers a confrontational meeting that disrupts both their lives. She brings news that forces him to reexamine the authority structure behind his missions and casts doubt on the people he was taught to trust. Father and daughter join forces to untangle a web of aliases, forged leads, and hidden patrons. Together they race through a shadowy network that tests their nerves, patience, and willingness to break the rules in pursuit of truth, and mounting urgency.
