Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond

1939, and in the run up to war, hedonistic, philandering, failing stockbroker Ian Fleming lands a job in Naval Intelligence, where his wild imagination and arrogance finally find a home. And as Ian starts a relationship with sweet debutante Muriel, he also meets the mysterious, alluring, dangerous Ann O'Neill.

War is raging, but despite the excitement of juggling a relationship with Muriel and a blossoming affair with Ann O'Neill, Ian feels increasingly trapped behind his Admiralty desk. Eventually he lands a mission to France but when it spins out of control and he returns home to news of a tragic death, it's finally clear that war is far from a game.

Ian loses himself in a tempestuous affair, and becomes riddled with self doubt.

1945 and as war in Europe draws to an end, so too does Ian's relationship with Ann O'Neill. It's clear that if he won't marry her, he'll lose her. Still battling his self-doubt, Ian finally gets his chance for action out in the field, chasing down secret German nuclear documents before they fall into Russian hands. Will he return home a hero, ready to become a husband?
