1901: Spy Sigmund Rosenblum is detained by Russian authorities, accused of stealing confidential oil surveys. When he escapes from custody, he leaves the young wife of an elderly vicar in a scandalous situation.

1904: Now stationed in Port Arthur, China, with his wife, Reilly passes information that enables the Japanese Navy to sink the Russian Pacific Squadron, setting off the Russo-Japanese War.

1905: Reilly undertakes a mission to obtain the plans of a naval gun from a German armaments factory. But when the operation is at risk of being exposed, Reilly must make some hard choices.

Reilly is in France, searching for Margaret, his wandering wife, and an Australian oil tycoon, and also competing with the Rothschilds to buy oil concessions in the Middle East.

1910: Now working with a German shipping agency and having broken ties with the British secret service, Reilly is in St. Petersburg for "the arms sale of the century," a contract to rebuild the Russian fleet.

Reilly has fallen in love with Nadia, the wife of his friend Count Massino, and his lawyer friend Grammaticoff has some advice for him.
