A SEEMINGLY normal family conceals a deadly secret in this award-winning drama set during the early 1980s when the Cold War between Russia and the US is at its height. Phillip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) and his wife Elizabeth (Keri Russell) are KGB spies, who are living in suburbia as a cover to gather intelligence on the enemy and transmit this highly sensitive information back home to Mother Russia. As part of their cover, Phillip and Elizabeth must juggle childcare responsibilities with the usual social gatherings with neighbours.
Their covert plan is thrown into jeopardy when one neighbour, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), turns out to be an FBI counter-intelligence agent, who is trained to spot double agents and could blow Phillip and Elizabeth’s cover.
