Allegiance

Alex O'Connor, a young idealistic CIA analyst specialising in Russian affairs, learns a shocking secret.

His close-knit, affluent family is about to be split apart when it's revealed that his parents, Mark and Katya, are covert Russian spies deactivated decades ago.

But today the Kremlin has re-enlisted them into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside the US border that will bring America to its knees.

Years ago, Russian-born Katya was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor as a spy - and the two fell in love.

A deal was struck: as long as Katya remained an asset for Russia, and it was agreed that her services could be called on in the future, she would be allowed to marry Mark and move to America.

After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped.

Now it seems that the new Mother Russia has one more mission - turning Alex into a spy.

For these anguished parents, the choice is clear: betray their country or risk their family.

In the series premiere, "Pilot": Rookie CIA analyst Alex O'Connor is assigned his first case - to examine the statements of a defecting Russian spy, who claims that rogue elements within her organisation are planning a catastrophic attack that will bring America to its knees.

Unbeknownst to Alex, his parents, Katya and Mark, are part of the dormant Russian sleeper cell he's investigating, and an unwelcome friend from the past arrives on their doorstep to give them a new mission: turn their son into a spy before his investigation unmasks them.

With nowhere to turn, Katya and Mark must choose - flag, or family.
