London Spy - Season 1

A romance between an MI6 code genius and a man working dead-end jobs promises happiness for both. But tragedy strikes when the spy dies in suspicious circumstances, forcing his lover to pursue the dangerous truth behind his death. Out of his depth in the world of espionage, Danny seeks help from his wise mentor Scottie, embarking on a journey where no-one is what they seem.

After Danny is accused by the papers of being involved in his lover's death, he is invited to meet Alex's parents - parents that Alex had told him were dead. The mystery deepens when he arrives at their country home and discovers them unemotional. Danny starts to realize that he knew almost nothing about his lover's true identity and catches a glimpse of just how deep the conspiracy around his death might go. By the time he returns to London, Danny's life is in terrible danger.

In a brutal interrogation, the police accuse Danny of being responsible for his lover's death. Confronted with incriminating evidence, he understands that he is being framed. Just as his pursuit for the truth hits a low, he is knocked sideways by a devastating revelation. In the depths of despair, the only person who can help him is Scottie. Using Scottie's extensive political connections, they plunge into a Westminster world of power that threatens to swallow both of them.

Danny is confronted with a side of his lover's life that seems to undermine the foundation of their relationship. As he wonders whether to give up, he remembers a vital clue that he has overlooked. But the consequences of continuing for justice are more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.

Following another death Danny finds his allies deserting him but decides to go public with Alex's research. After an unwelcome visit from his parents who say they are being used to ensnare him he calls on Frances, who surprises him with a revelation about her family, her own life as a spy and her influence on her son. This in turn leads Danny to identify his lover's killer.
