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.

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

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.

Anna and her brother Noah struggle to protect her daughters in France. Alexander Said, who led the team in Tehran, arrives in London to see White.

Leyla investigates links between Iran and the US. In France, White and his second-in-command, Khalid Walker, use Anna to leverage pressure on Max.

Max travels to London and finally manages to get to White, but the danger is not over. In Tehran, Leyla meets a US envoy who provides her with yet more clues related to the orders her unit were given.
