Hi, I’m Xavier!
Let me introduce you to the world of Max Shaw - an Australian spy named after my great-grandfather.
Max is living the typical college life at uni when he is approached by General Patrick ‘Hulk’ Scott with an offer - join the Australian Intelligence Service and help protect the nation from foreign and domestic threats.
Max’s hopes and dreams of the future are challenged when confronted by the reality of service and sacrifice in the life of a spy on the very front lines of our national defence.
The series is a fast paced, high action mix of both the crime and spy thriller genres.
I hope you enjoy the ride!
