Deep State

Ex-spy Max Easton is brought out of retirement against his will by George White - London chief of MI6/CIA team The Section.

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

Anna & her brother Noah struggle to protect her daughters in France. Alexander Said, who led the team in Tehran, arrives in London to see White, but The Section head is in no mood for forgiveness. Max & 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 heads to the U.S. and may have finally discovered the real reason why the Tehran unit found themselves on The Section's hit list. Although he may have won the battle, he now has to work out if he can he stop the war.
