MI6 agent Andy Osnard is sent to Panama as punishment for his affair with an ambassador's mistress. There, he recruits Harry Pendel, a British tailor with a clientele of powerful Panamanians, including the President, to act as an informant. Harry agrees due to his significant debts from a failed farming venture, unbeknownst to his American wife Louisa. Osnard pressures Harry for valuable intel, leading Harry to discover that the Panamanian government plans to sell the canal to the Chinese. This information is exactly what Osnard needs to advance his career.
