Not every fishmonger can be a secret agent.

Journey to an unnamed mountainous country in central Europe at the end of the Great War. Enter Citizen Orlov, a simple fishmonger and an honest, upright citizen, who answers a phone call meant for a secret agent and stumbles into a hidden world of espionage and secrecy. Recruited by the Ministry of Security, he is sent on assignment to safeguard the king.

But Orlov soon discovers that his ministry handler, the alluring femme fatale Agent Zelle, is planning not to protect the king but to assassinate him. Caught in a web of plot and counterplot, confusing loyalties, and explosive betrayals, Orlov finds himself on trial for murder. Given the opportunity to clear his name, he finds that the lives of his friends, mother, and fellow citizens hang in the balance.

Orlov, a man of simple means and modest upbringing, finds himself thrust into a world of intrigue and danger. He is trained in the art of espionage, given advanced weapons and gadgets, and assigned to protect the king, a figurehead who holds little power in a corrupt and unstable government.

As Orlov carries out his mission, he begins to uncover a web of conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. He discovers that Agent Zelle is not working alone and that there is a larger plot to destabilize the country and install a puppet regime.

Orlov is faced with a moral dilemma as he carries out his mission. He knows that assassinating the king would be against the law and would have devastating consequences for the country. But he also knows that the king is a puppet who is being used by those in power to further their own interests.

As Orlov delves deeper into the conspiracy, he becomes increasingly aware of the danger that he and his friends and family are in. He is pursued by government agents, who are determined to silence him and prevent him from exposing the truth.

In the end, Orlov must make a difficult decision. He must choose between his loyalty to the law and his loyalty to his country. He must decide whether to carry out his mission and risk everything or to turn against those in power and expose the truth.

Orlov's journey is a testament to the power of courage, determination, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. He is a hero who risks everything to protect his country and his fellow citizens from those who would seek to harm them.
