Black Doves Series Cast, Plot and Everything to Know

Plot

Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, Black Doves is a sharp, action-filled, and heartfelt story of friendship & sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Knightley), a quick-witted, down-to-earth, dedicated wife & mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she's been passing on her politician husband's secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover is killed, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Lancashire), calls in Helen's old friend Sam (Whishaw) to keep her safe. Together, Helen & Sam set off on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why, leading them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical crisis.
