Mossad liaison man Thomas Hirsch hadn't heard from his agent Rachel for over a year when he suddenly received a cryptic call. Your father died. Yet again. Then Rachel hangs up. Thomas is immediately summoned to a crisis meeting. The secret service is alarmed because as a former Mossad spy Rachel has explosive knowledge. For years Thomas had sent her on increasingly dangerous missions until she fell in love with a target. Now Thomas is supposed to find out if Rachel poses a threat to the organization while he tries to protect it at the same time.

The screenplay is based on the Israeli bestseller "The English Teacher" by Yiftach Reicher Atir, a former Israeli intelligence officer who provides first-hand insight into the work of the Mossad.
