The four-part series revolves around MI5 operative John Hughes (played by Shaun Evans) who is scheduled to meet a British-Iranian informant who claims to have knowledge of a pending terrorist plot.
However, a major spanner is thrown in the works when the man is killed before they can speak and John winds up killing the assassin in self-defence.
