Wolfgang himself is a semi-retired Romeo operator, having worked his way up in an officially deniable "service" under the umbrella of Canada's intelligence community.
Based in Vancouver,[4] British Columbia, the Romeo and Juliet recruits infiltrate the city’s heroin trade and keep eyes on an asylum seeker, while their handler searches for the elusive faction leader of the Red Mountain Triad.
[5] In the Le Carré-esque second season, the master of espionage, Wolfgang McGee, steps away from his role of asset handler to investigate an attempted bombing in Vancouver.
Together they review the chain of events surrounding the attack to uncover massive holes and blunders, either made by human error or deliberately, as sabotage.
Meanwhile, separated from Wolfgang, former assets Rufus and Lily use their Romeo skills to seduce their way up the ladder in the heroin trade and espionage circles.
