Determined to clear his name, Ethan embarks on a tense journey through Europe’s most glamorous locales, from the modernist skyscrapers of Berlin to the misty canals of Venice. But his investigation uncovers a twisted web of lies, theft, and betrayal as he discovers connections to an enigmatic woman named Celeste Beaumont (Margot Robbie), a reclusive art curator with a mysterious past. Haunted by Celeste’s uncanny resemblance to his deceased wife, Ethan becomes entangled in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with her and an elusive shadow organization trafficking in priceless stolen artifacts.
