Synopsis:

To eat the fruit of the lotus is to lose the desire to return home. But everyone who does has a reason. Shepherd's bar is a focal point for a group of expatriates living in and around a small town on the isle of Crete. Run and owned by reformed Alcoholic Erik Shepherd, the bar is a temptation that is never far from Erik's mind, and his faltering marriage to Ann (Wanda Ventham) provides little respite from his addiction. When Donald Culley (James Kerry) arrives on the island, the populace are drawn to this charming, handsome stranger. However, Culley knows something about Ann that could prove far more devastating that Erik's drinking.

Erik and Ann Sheppard run a bar on a Greek island, but all is not what it seems: both have murky pasts that they would prefer to forget. Erik is a reformed alcoholic and Korean war veteran invalided out of the British army after a nervous breakdown. He left England after being controversially cleared of murdering a young girl. Ann, unknown to him, is a 'sleeping' agent, who had been instructed to marry him as a cover. Unfortunately, she has become genuinely attached to him, and trouble looms when her superiors decide to activate her for a mission. Their attempts to break her affections include sewing doubts in her mind as to whether Erik did in fact kill the girl in England. This dilemma is brought into sharp focus when another young girl is murdered, under very similar circumstances. Loyalties are tested to the very limit before the truth can be reached.
