Lies, corruption, murder - welcome to the world of The Romeo Section where spies are recruited to seduce for secrets.

Follows spymaster Professor Wolfgang McGee, an academic who secretly manages a roster of espionage assets. These assets, referred to as Romeo or Juliet spies, are informants engaged in intimate long or short term relations with state intelligence targets. Wolfgang is a semi-retired Romeo operator, having worked his way up from youth in an unnamed and officially deniable "service" under the umbrella of Canada's Intelligence Community.

Wolfgang McGee is a professor at a Vancouver area university, he specializing in geopolitical history. However, that role is purely a cover, albeit a useful one, for his primary job, that as an undercover head of a Canadian Intelligence Services spy ring comprised largely of people he recruits personally for whatever the mission at hand. His agents are referred to as Romeo and Juliets, they who use their sexuality and sex to further their missions. The recruits are both those within the agency as well as people upon who he stumbles as being somehow involved already in the case in question, often their work for him as a means of non-prosecution for their crimes. Wolfgang is himself a Romeo in the twilight of that part of his career. As Wolfgang's section is largely underground, they may get little or no official support, even from Wolfgang's superiors with who he is often at odds. But as the CIS has its Romeos and Juliets, so do other intelligence services who may use their own Romeo and Juliets against Wolfgang and his operatives.—Huggo
