Plot Synopsis
In the center of London is a street with the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service on one side and the headquarters of gay clubbing on the other. LONDON SPY is the story of a chance romance between two people from opposite sides of that street and two very different worlds. Danny's from the city's club circuit, a place of youthful excess, while Alex is an MI6 code genius posing as an investment banker. But their love story quickly unravels when the reclusive banker disappears under suspicious circumstances, exposing his real identity as a spy and forcing his lover down a dark path to reveal the truth. 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. BBC America will air the U.S. premiere of this series on Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT.
