Renowned producer Mammoth Screen reunites with Endeavour star Shaun Evans for an emotionally intelligent, darkly funny spy thriller written by award-winning playwright and screenwriter David Eldridge. MI5 operative John Hughes (Evans) has been at the forefront of preventing the biggest terrorist plots on UK soil for over 20 years. But now in his mid-40s and married with two children, he’s struggling to navigate the evolving world of espionage, the changing values of a progressive workplace, and the trials and day-to-day betrayals of marriage and family life. Defying the wishes of his superiors, John meets a source who tells him about an international plot unfolding on UK soil which could lead to a significant loss of life. But when John’s source is shot dead by a lone gunman, he must convince his resistant colleagues that his intelligence was genuine and potentially prevent a major attack on UK soil before it’s too late. Can he discover the truth, as well as save his marriage, career and the lives of many others?
