Everyone’s hunting him.

He’s hunting for answers.

This is not yet the story of a spy — but of how one is made.

1791. Switzerland. As revolution roars across neighbouring France, a fragile confederacy braces for upheaval. Suspicions fester between cantons. Foreign powers circle like wolves. An assassination attempt may have just ignited the powder keg.

Amidst this storm, a nameless fugitive flees for Zürich bearing a scroll that could save himself — and his country. But fate has other plans. A sudden blow to the head erases his memory, plunging him into a whirlwind of confusion, mistaken identities, and utter mayhem.

With a nation now on the brink, dangers closing in, and his amnesia a ticking time bomb, the questions only multiply: Will he recall who he is and the secret he carries before it’s too late? Or will Switzerland fall? Is he the traitor everyone seeks? Or simply history’s hapless fool?

Vain, blundering, bold, and utterly clueless of even his own name, he might — just might — change the course of history... if he doesn’t trip over his own sword first.

History, mystery, and misadventure collide.
