Deep State

Ex-spy Max Easton is brought out of retirement against his will by MI6/CIA team The Section. Meanwhile, Max's wife Anna starts an investigation into her husband's past. What she finds puts her and their young daughters in grave danger.

In Washington, we meet the CIA's Amanda Jones. Max, now in Beirut, doesn't know who to trust after speaking to Leyla, a member of The Section team stationed there.

When Amanda arrives in London, she brings the full force of the CIA's dissatisfaction to bear on White, who struggles to retain control. In Beirut, Max and Leyla begin to work together to decipher the real purpose of The Section's Tehran mission.

Anna and her brother struggle to protect her daughters. Alexander Said arrives in London to see White, but The Section head is in no mood for forgiveness. Max and Leyla stumble upon some information that could help them.

Leyla investigates links between Iran and the U.S. In France, White and his second-in-command Khalid Walker use Anna to leverage pressure on Max. This drives Max back from Beirut to the Pyrenees, where matters come to a head.

Max is reunited with his family, but danger is not far behind. He travels to London and finally manages to get to White. In Tehran, Leyla meets a U.S. envoy who provides her with yet more clues related to the orders her unit were given.

In London, Max's digging stirs the attention of a sniper with a fatal point to make. In Washington, Jones sends out a crack team to recover scientific evidence from an Iranian desert nuclear facility - the net is closing in.

Max may have discovered the real reason why the Tehran unit are on The Section's hit list. He may have won the battle, but can he stop the war?
