In the secretive world of US/Australian Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap, the A-Crew intelligence team is faced with a terrorist attack on a civilian plane and the stunning discovery that there is a mole in their midst.

A team of talented Australian and American intelligence analysts work together to ensure global stability in one of the world’s most important and secretive joint intelligence facilities... Pine Gap. But the relationship between the Australian and American intelligence analysts working at Pine Gap isn’t always rosy.

Simmering beneath the surface are flashpoints of personality, culture and politics and with a new global player encroaching, and the world inching closer to war — trust, betrayal, love and loyalty all come into question: What do you do for your country, what do you do for those you love and what do you do for yourself?
