The story unfolds against the backdrop of war, espionage, and the emotional struggles of its characters, particularly highlighting familial and romantic tensions amidst the chaos of the time. The narrative introduces John Hargraves, a young officer about to leave for the front, and explores his relationships with his uncle, Sir Percival Hargraves, and the women in his life, including Kathleen, an American girl who plays a significant role in his emotional journey. The opening of "I Spy" establishes a tense atmosphere, set in November 1914, where John and his uncle discuss the war and the undercurrents of espionage affecting England.
