Synopsis
The serial adventure Evenfall narrates the
journey of Eve, a young woman following in the footsteps of her
fallen father. She’s partnered with "Uncle," her father’s former
colleague and her surrogate father. Ben, a tech genius, rounds out
the trio as they embark on clandestine
missions for a private intelligence agency.
This chapter of Eve’s adventures opens on a
crowded ballroom during Eve’s first field operation where she first
encounters Miles Devlin, a charming but ruthless Englishman. Things
take a turn for the worse when Miles wounds her and escapes. After
she recovers and gains more field experience, Eve encounters Miles
again, this time in Hong Kong. He
aims to steal an ancient and valuable Chinese diary that Eve has
acquired, but she is determined to keep it and settle the
score.
As Eve and Miles struggle for possession of the
diary, Uncle and Ben are in a London auction house
poised to acquire a rare jade pendent. They must outbid Miles’
employer, Mr. Durand, a French millionaire and collector who is
determined to win the jade
himself. Uncle assumes the alias of an antiquities dealer while Ben
laces Mr. Durand’s scotch with a sedative. But Mr. Durand’s
watchful attaché Simon Leduc becomes suspicious and tries to
uncover Uncle’s true identity.
What Eve and her colleagues don’t yet realize is
that securing these items will propel them on a journey that will
reveal the mystery of her father’s death.
