Jonathan Pine, a British Army veteran working as night manager of the Nefertiti Hotel in Cairo during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, becomes involved with Sophie Alekan, mistress of Egyptian playboy Freddie Hamid. Sophie gives Pine documents detailing Hamid's illegal weapons and chemical deals, which Pine passes to Angela Burr of the International Enforcement Agency in London. The information is leaked to arms dealer Richard Roper, who cancels the deal; Sophie is beaten, and when Pine tries to secure UK asylum for her through his contact Simon Ogilvey, he learns Hamid's government connections make it impossible. Burr attempts to help, but Sophie is murdered. Four years later, Pine, now night manager of the Meisters Hotel in Zermatt, is assigned to assist late-arriving guests, who turn out to be Roper and his entourage. Pine contacts Burr with intelligence stolen from Roper but initially refuses further involvement. Burr travels to Zermatt and persuades Pine to infiltrate Roper's organisation to help destroy it and avenge Sophie's death.

Burr's Operation Limpet places Pine inside Roper's organisation by giving him a non-official cover identity and sending him to Devon to fabricate a violent criminal background, during which he begins a romantic relationship with Marilyn, a single mother. Burr then dispatches Pine to Majorca, where Roper is negotiating an arms deal. There, agents stage an abduction of Roper's son Daniel at a seaside restaurant; Pine, posing as a chef, "rescues" Daniel by confronting the undercover kidnappers and provoking them into beating him to make the scenario convincing. Severely injured, he is brought to Roper, who remembers him from Switzerland and is wary of his new identity but grateful enough to take him into his villa to recuperate. Roper's deputy, Major Lance "Corky" Corcoran, interrogates Pine about his supposed criminal past and inconsistencies in his aliases. Meanwhile in London, Burr works to keep Operation Limpet hidden from the 'River House' (MI6), whom she suspects would interfere if they discovered the covert plan.

Roper interrogates Pine about his supposed criminal history, and Pine convincingly sells his fabricated backstory. As a result, Roper insists he remain at the villa while they create a new identity for him, partly in gratitude for saving Daniel. Pine begins undermining Corky's standing within the organisation and grows closer to Roper's girlfriend, Jemima "Jed" Marshall. In Madrid, Roper's lawyer, Juan "Apo" Apostol, hosts a birthday party for his daughter, Elena, attended by Roper and his entourage; Elena later hangs herself from shame over her father's illicit dealings. Burr finds the devastated Apo and attempts to win his trust. At the villa, Pine discovers Roper's secret study and steals the key; during a daily alarm test, he breaks in to photograph documents detailing Tradepass, Roper's shell company used to disguise arms sales as agricultural equipment. The next day, Roper gives Pine a passport under the alias Andrew Birch and, convinced by Pine's story and frustrated with Corky's worsening alcoholism, appoints him frontman of Tradepass. Meanwhile in London, officials at the River House led by Geoffrey Dromgoole attempt to take control of Operation Limpet from Burr's superior, Rex Mayhew. When Mayhew resists, Dromgoole's deputy Raymond Galt alerts Roper and his financial manager Lord Sandy Langbourne to Limpet's existence.

Roper expands Pine's new identity as Andrew Birch and plans to introduce him to prospective Tradepass buyers. At the IEA, Burr gives Mayhew and ATF agent Joel Steadman the Tradepass documents Pine photographed, revealing Roper's massive weapons-sale profits and commissions paid to two codenames, "Halo" and "Felix". Burr learns from Harry Palfrey of Dromgoole's team that Halo is Dromgoole and Felix is Barbara Vandon, the CIA station chief in London; both help falsify documents to support Roper's deals. Mayhew shows the documents to Pamela, the Foreign Office's Permanent Secretary, to prevent the IEA from being shut down, but Pamela leaks them to Dromgoole, who informs Roper. Roper, believing Apo is the source, has him killed. While Roper is away, Pine and Jed act on their attraction and sleep together; Corky discovers this and begins threatening them. Burr learns of Pine's involvement with Jed and orders him out, but Pine refuses, noting Roper is preparing a major weapons sale in Istanbul. When Burr persists, Pine warns Roper they are being watched, allowing Roper's team to escape the IEA's surveillance.

After escaping, Roper tells Pine he had Apo murdered and reveals he now suspects Pine, Jed, Langbourne, or Corky of being another mole. Roper's entourage travels to Turkey to a compound called The Haven, run by mercenaries who manage his distribution network and its aid-organisation cover. Pine is assigned to arrange a weapons demonstration for buyers led by Omar Barghati. In London, Pamela reassigns Mayhew to a Royal Household post, and Dromgoole tries to intimidate Burr into abandoning Limpet. Pine records the registration numbers of the "aid convoy" meant to deliver the weapons and secretly urges Jed to frame Corky; she subtly does so. Pine slips out to deliver the convoy note to Burr, but Corky catches him, and Pine kills him in a fight. He tells Roper that Corky was meeting someone outside the fence. Burr secures a U.S. military inspection of Roper's trucks at the Syrian border, but they contain only agricultural equipment. Pine realises Roper never stored the weapons at the compound. Steadman claims Pine has turned, but Burr rejects this. Roper's group heads to Cairo, where he contacts Hamid. In London, Burr returns home to find it ransacked and her husband wounded.

After the border failure, the IEA is disbanded. Pine contacts Burr, who arrives in Cairo with Steadman, and convinces them the arms deal can still be stopped. Jed secures the code to Roper's hotel safe, allowing Burr and Steadman to steal the weapons' registration certificates while Roper's group visits a casino. Pine spikes Hamid's drinks, escorts him home, learns Roper ordered Sophie's murder, and drowns him. Pine then works with Youssuf, a former colleague, and his Muslim Brotherhood contacts to infiltrate the weapons compound. The next morning, Jed is caught; Roper has her waterboarded and concludes Pine is the mole. At the compound, Roper threatens Jed's life unless Pine completes the sale, unaware Burr has already rescued her. When the consortium arrives, Pine detonates the trucks remotely via phone, revealing that he moved the $300 million down payment out of the Tradepass account. The enraged buyers demand repayment. Pine tells Roper he can access the money only if Jed is freed. Roper threatens Pine and the consortium, but back at the hotel Burr confronts him; he discovers she has blackmailed Dromgoole into withdrawing support. Local police arrest Roper and his team, and his furious buyers seize the convoy. Roper understands he faces a violent end. Jed returns to America, and Pine promises to visit her.

In 2025, Pine is working at the River House under the pseudonym Alex Goodwin. Reporting to Mayhew, Pine manages a surveillance unit called 'The Night Owls' that surveils top London hotels to gather intelligence on criminal activity. During an operation, Pine sees Jaco Brouwer, a mercenary who used to work for Roper. Pine alerts Mayhew and discovers that Mayhew is covertly meeting with a mysterious woman. Pine sanctions unauthorised surveillance of Brouwer by his team. They discover his connections to criminal broker Adam Holywell and MI6 chief Mayra Cavendish. Mayhew is murdered after informing Pine he had discovered something, with his killing covered up as a suicide. Pine discovers a hidden phone in Mayhew's home and uses it to contact Roxana Bolaños, the woman Mayhew met with. Roxana, a businesswoman working with Colombian philanthropist Teddy Dos Santos, is a mole working for Mayhew. Pine, after failing to gain insights from an older, cynical Danny, discovers Dos Santos is a former acolyte of Roper. Pine has Roxana taken into protective custody and follows Brouwer with two of his team members, Waleed and Graham, to Spain. Dos Santos arrives and discovers Brouwer has been compromised. Dos Santos murders him, Waleed and Graham before detonating a bomb that nearly kills Pine. In London, a gunman storms Roxana's safehouse.

In the aftermath of the bombing, Pine fakes his death and Cavendish disbands the Night Owls. Pine is helped by Sally Price-Jones, his suspended colleague, and Basil Karapetian, a senior MI6 official aware of Pine's real identity. Together, they establish an identity for Pine as playboy banker Matthew Ellis to go undercover in Colombia. There, Pine meets Dos Santos and discovers he is attempting to silence prosecutor Alejandro Gualteros, who has impounded a key shipment of his. In the UK, Basil deceives Cavendish whilst setting up surveillance on her operations. Invited to a charity gala, Pine reunites with Roxana and confronts her about her actual role with Mayhew. Roxana had been deployed to deceive Mayhew, but was unaware of the murders that would follow. Pine recruits Roxana to work for him. He also hires private detective Martín Álvarez to dig into Teddy's past. They discover his true identity as Eduardo Vidal, Roper's illegitimate lovechild. With Teddy's business accounts frozen by Gualteros, he approaches 'Ellis' for a loan. Pine is invited to Teddy's villa with Roxana to negotiate. They party and Pine is deliberately driven to inebriation by Teddy for questioning. However, Pine sticks to his cover story of having illegally stashed money to launder. Teddy accepts the offer.
