6. The Cottage

Assume NothingThe Stormont Spy Ring
Episode 6 of 8

A security breach. A top-secret surveillance operation. A government collapsed. The exposure and death of a spy.

A journalist gets a tip that a political backroom man who’s just confessed to being a spy is living in the wilds of Donegal. He sets out to track him down and secure a major scoop.

The old, whitewashed stone cottage where the spy is living has a dark history that’s about to take another chilling turn.
