London, England: Slough House is where washed-up MI5 spies go to while
away what's left of their failed careers. The "slow horses," as they're
called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated
there. Maybe they botched an Op so badly they can't be trusted anymore.
Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug
yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the
bottle--not unusual in this line of work. One thing they have in common,
though, is they want to be back in the action. And most of them would do
anything to get there─even if it means having to collaborate with one
another.
When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast
his beheading live on the Internet, the slow horses see an opportunity
to redeem themselves. But is the victim really who he appears to be?
