The young man, enlisted in the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, thinks that he does not have the necessary requirements for it, but in memory, he realizes that the free time he spent with his uncle was, in reality, training for his future training as a spy. Languages, diving and hiking, are some of the things he practised with his uncle and are now key to being part of the team of agents. With this and a series of ingenious artefacts provided by the organization, Alex is ready to undertake his first mission: Avoid the connection of the deadly Stormbreakers computers.
