Storyline:
The war may be over... But the real race has just begun.
Jean Thibault, better known as IXE-13, Canada’s most elite secret agent, has seemingly retired from espionage. Now, he runs the Crystal Club, a glamorous nightclub perched above a once-notorious mob-run hotel in Montreal’s Red Light district.
But peace is fragile—and a new global threat is emerging: the race for nuclear power. When whispers of uranium smuggling and black-market science echo through his club’s velvet-curtained rooms, IXE-13 is pulled back into a world of double agents, Soviet operatives, rogue scientists, and dangerous seduction.
As Cold War tensions mount, and alliances twist in shadow, IXE-13 must decide: Can he still play the game—without losing everything he’s built?
Packed with noir atmosphere, historical tension, and Montreal postwar grit, the series mixes classic spycraft with a uniquely Canadian lens.
