British spy Leonard Flood is tasked with investigating the poisoning incident that took place in London, involving Willa Karlsson, a retired British secret service vetting officer who is suspected of being a Russian agent. British intelligence is deeply concerned about the possibility that Moscow poisoned her upon her retirement, as she had become irrelevant to their operations. As Leonard delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a surprising truth: Willa's story is not one of betrayal but rather one of friendship.

Leonard finds himself in a difficult predicament as he must decide whether to hand her over to her masters or to help her escape. He is torn between his loyalty to his country and his concern for a friend.

Through his investigation, Leonard discovers that there is a larger conspiracy at play, involving high-ranking officials and powerful organizations. He realizes that he is in grave danger and that he must act quickly to prevent further harm.

With the help of a few trusted allies, Leonard embarks on a dangerous mission to expose the truth and bring those responsible to justice. He faces numerous challenges and obstacles along the way, but he remains determined to see justice done.

In the end, Leonard successfully exposes the conspiracy and brings the culprits to justice. He is hailed as a hero for his bravery and dedication to his country.

Willa, on the other hand, is grateful for Leonard's help and support throughout the investigation. She realizes that their friendship was stronger than any loyalty to a cause or organization.

The incident serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still people who are willing to stand up for what is right and fight for justice. It is a testament to the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit.
