A portrayal of a complete espionage operation as seen from both sides. Between 1944 and 1955 over 40 agents were dropped by boat on the Soviet coast. In 1956 the mastermind of the operation, MI6's Head of Northern Area, discovered that the whole of his network was part of a deception organised by the KGB.
