The year is 2013. Thames House is gone and regional MI5 Field Offices have sprung up in its place. Are six young new recruits tough, moral and clever enough to protect Britain's future?
Spooks – Code 9 is a new six-part drama for BBC Three, allowing viewers to see the future of Spooks and to get even closer to the world of conspiracy and espionage.
London has been evacuated following a nuclear bomb and the country's power base has shifted north. In the wake of the attack, MI5 must completely restructure and establish field offices across the UK. They need young, new officers on the ground – and fast. It is members of this new generation of patriots who help make up MI5's new Field Office 19.
Field Office 19 is in the middle of an investigation into arms dealers Theo Danakis and Flynn Dixon. So new spooks, including ex junior doctor Rob, wild and fearless Kylie, reformed bad boy Jez and charmer Vik, are all working undercover. Former police officer Rachel is running the show for the first time, under the watchful eye of experienced spy Hannah. But things aren't exactly going to plan for Jez and Vik. Luckily, the unexpected arrival of new recruit and mathematical genius Charlie changes their fate.
When Hannah receives news that the Prime Minister will be visiting the city the following day, the pressure mounts to take down Danakis and Dixon. Intelligence being gathered increasingly points towards an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister.
It doesn't take long for the team to discover that the intended hit-man is a known assassin, Jermain Lee. The team tracks him to a hotel overlooking the PM's proposed route – providing them with further evidence of his intentions. Convinced the PM is the target, Kylie and Jez close in on Lee's hotel room.
But, as the team moves in on Lee, Charlie realises the signs just don't add up. Realisation hits that the PM may not be the target – and that one member of Field Office 19 is walking straight into a trap.
Spooks – Code 9 is accompanied by an exciting online extension. The series includes a live, alternate reality experience that provides a multi-dimensional setting for the show and allows viewers to explore and contribute to this changed world.
Theo Danakis is played by Nick Nevern, Flynn Dixon by Louis Dower, Rob by Andrew Knott, Kylie by Georgia Moffett, Jez by Heshima Thompson, Vik by Christopher Simpson, Rachel by Ruta Gedmintas, Hannah by Joanne Froggatt, Charlie by Liam Boyle and Jermain Lee by Jamie Bertwistle.
