At the height of the Cold War - more than 20 years before Anthony Blunt was finally exposed as the fourth Cambridge Spy - three British Secret Service agents defect to the Soviet Union rather than face interrogation for leaking secrets to the KGB. Discover the chilling facts behind their treachery and defections in this suspenseful, real-life drama. You'll marvel anew at the cold-blooded lies of Kim Philby (Anthony Bate, Smiley's People; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), and at his successful escape plan for his old university chums and fellow double agents, Guy Burgess (Sir Derek Jacobi, The Golden Compass; I, Claudius; Cadfael) and Donald Maclean (Michael Culver, The House of Eliott, Cadfael). An unforgettable scandal, brought to life by sharp dialogue and superb acting.
