Set between the fictional island of Pulau, in Southeast Asia, and Egypt, The Haze is the story of Hector Kane, a CIA operative who's received a dubious call from a Saudi prince claiming that Hector’s wife is in fact a Chinese spy and that she's seduced and kidnapped the prince's son.

In this intricate tale, Hector must uncover the truth about his wife without raising suspicion from the CIA; and he has to do so during one of the strangest operations in CIA history.

Join Hector on this emotional and surprising journey. He’ll dash through the dark corridors of espionage, uncover many secrets, and learn more about himself, his marriage, and his loyalty to the mission.
