The story

A cryptic message from the previous M leads MI6 agent James Bond to carry out a mission in Mexico City, foiling a terrorist bombing attempt at the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral during the Day of the Dead festival.

M is engaged in a power struggle with Max Denbigh (whom Bond dubs "C"), the Director-General of the new privately backed Joint Intelligence Service formed by the merger of MI5 and MI6.

Following the previous M's instructions, Bond attends Sciarra's funeral in Rome and rescues his widow Lucia from assassins.
