Alec Leamas, the exhausted head of British intelligence operations in Berlin, is ordered to appear disgraced and defect to East Germany. Control's plan is to feed the enemy a story that will destroy a senior East German intelligence officer.
Leamas enters the operation believing he understands its purpose, but each interrogation reveals another layer of manipulation. His relationship with Liz Gold becomes the moral centre of a mission in which both sides treat individuals as expendable.
