A Spy Among Friends follows the defection of notorious British intelligence officer and KGB double agent, Kim Philby, through the lens of his complex relationship with MI6 colleague and close friend, Nicholas Elliott. The show examines espionage through their friendship, the fallout of which affects East-West relations to this day.
In the wake of Kim Philby's escape to Moscow, his closest friend in Britain's Secret Service, Nicholas Elliott, is under investigation.
Investigator Lily Thomas understands that Elliott is never going to divulge anything of value in a conventional interrogation process so she manipulates him.
Philby begins to understand that the KGB can never fully trust him now that he's in Moscow and as far as they're concerned his life as a spy for them is over.
Elliott rattles Blunt's cage to make him panic and then follows him to a clandestine meeting in the middle of the night.
Elliott and Lily fear that no one can be trusted. They must get to Blunt before anyone else to interrogate him and confirm their suspicions.
Lily has forced Elliot to remember more than he perhaps ever wanted to about Philby. Months later, Elliott receives a letter from Philby asking for a meeting in an East Berlin bar.
