When Verloc is tasked with orchestrating an act of terrorism to destabilize society, his actions set off a tragic chain of events that threaten both his family and the fragile world he inhabits. Blending psychological depth with social commentary, Conrad explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the dark side of human nature.
