Written by Matthew Parkhill, Simon Maxwell and Stephen Thompson (Jericho, Sherlock, Doctor Who) this fresh new drama is set in Britain, The U.S., Iran, Lebanon and France; and centres on Max Easton, an ex-spy, who is brought back into the game to avenge the death of his son, only to find himself at the heart of a covert intelligence war and a conspiracy to profit from spreading chaos throughout the Middle East.
This enthralling story, shot through with suspense, action and duplicity, shows the merciless reality of the world of espionage, where an increasingly rare conscience can get you, and the ones you love, killed.
