Opis

Despite being retired for two decades, David Cartwright, once part of the Intelligence Service, is still aware of where the secrets lie. However, when he mistakenly reveals some of these hidden truths, he becomes a target. His grandson, River, finds himself at Slough House—home to demoted spies dubbed 'slow horses'—doing menial tasks. Concerned for his grandfather's safety, River decides to abandon his desk job and takes matters into his own hands. Jackson Lamb, who heads Slough House and once worked alongside Cartwright, realizes that this is not a situation involving a harmless, elderly man. So when the Intelligence Service HQ receives a distress signal from River, Lamb is prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect an agent in danger.
