Description

A newly demobbed officer, restless after the Great War, finds his first taste of civilian life unsettled by a cryptic invitation. The letter demands an extravagant dinner in a Swiss hotel, with no expense spared and a secret room awaiting three unknown guests. When the party arrives—two gaunt, foreign men and a brash American—the atmosphere tingles with suspicion, and the hotel’s staff can’t shake the uneasy feeling that something beyond ordinary hospitality is afoot.

Drawn in by his innate curiosity and a taste for danger, the officer steps into the elaborate charade, ready to unmask the motives hidden behind polished manners and hushed French. As the night unfolds, he discovers a tangled web of post‑war intrigue, where alliances are fragile and every whispered conversation could spark a new adventure. Listeners will be swept into a world where the calm of a fine dinner masks the restless pulse of a game just beginning.
