Spy City follows an English spy who is sent to Berlin in 1961 to sift out a traitor in the UK Embassy or among the Allies, shortly before the construction of the Berlin Wall. The city, declared by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev as "the most dangerous place on earth," is teeming with spies and double agents. One wrong move could trigger the looming threat of nuclear war as American, British and French troops in West Berlin remain separated from their Soviet and East German counterparts by nothing more than an imaginary line.
Berlin, 1961: Fielding Scott, a disgraced MI6 agent, is given a chance to rehabilitate. He is supposed to organize the defection of an East German scientist who has made an explosive discovery. The operation fails. There must be a mole within the Allied secret services. Scott goes on a dangerous search for the traitor.
