The show starts off with Adam, deputy to the head of MI-6, talking to a classroom of school kids. Meanwhile, his boss is in a restaurant and is then seen showing a man a file containing compromising information. He promises not to reveal any of the information and wants nothing in return, for now. Next, his drink is brought to him- it has been poisoned.
The poisoner, a Russian spy, Kara, runs to her getaway van, but as the driver is taking off he hits a bicyclist. He stops to check on the cyclist, and naturally the injured man sees his face.
Adam is promoted to acting head of MI-6. His boss is in the hospital. Information about the poisoner is gleaned from various sources and the getaway driver's face is all over the news. Naturally he is killed. By Kara.
Later Adam meets Kara on a bridge. They had a relationship at some point earlier in their careers. She wants intel from him now he is head of MI-6. He rose so quickly to head due to intel she passed along to him without his knowledge.
Police protection is assigned to Adam's family- wife Maddy, daughter Elle, son Callum. Elle is unhappy with this police protection and slips out a different door at school and is kidnapped. Of course. If only kids could be a little more intelligent!
