Set towards the backdrop of London at Christmas, BLACK DOVES is a pointy, action-filled and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, all the way down to earth, devoted spouse and mom — {and professional} spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets and techniques to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s previous buddy Sam (Ben Whishaw) to maintain her secure. Collectively, Helen and Sam set off on a mission to research who killed Jason and why, main them to uncover an enormous, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical disaster.
