Cuando secuestran a un miembro de su grupo y les exigen un rescate, los agentes de la Casa de la Ciénaga se ven obligados a superar todos los pronósticos sobre su competencia para burlar las férreas medidas de seguridad de la oficina central de inteligencia del MI5 y robar información valiosa como moneda de cambio para salvar a su colega. Sin embargo, ese incidente no es más que la punta del iceberg de una conspiración a gran escala, en la que no solo está implicada una banda que trabaja por libre, sino también el estamento más alto del servicio secreto. Tras años condenados a realizar tareas burocráticas, los caballos lentos se encuentran en medio de un complot que amenaza con dinamitar el futuro de la Casa de la Ciénaga y del propio MI5.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Apple TV to launch a series in fall, 2021, with Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb.

When one of their own is kidnapped, the washed-up MI5 operatives of Slough House—the Slow Horses, as they’re known—outwit rogue agents at the very highest levels of British Intelligence, and even to Downing Street itself.

London: Slough House is the MI5 branch where disgraced operatives are reassigned after they’ve messed up too badly to be trusted with real intelligence work. The “Slow Horses,” as the failed spies of Slough House are called, are doomed to spend the rest of their careers pushing paper, but they all want back in on the action.

When one of their own is kidnapped and held for ransom, the agents of Slough House must defeat the odds, overturning all expectations of their competence, to breach the top-notch security of MI5’s intelligence headquarters, Regent’s Park, and steal valuable intel in exchange for their comrade’s safety. The kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg, however—the agents uncover a larger web of intrigue that involves not only a group of private mercenaries but the highest authorities in the Secret Service. After years spent as the lowest on the totem pole, the Slow Horses suddenly find themselves caught in the midst of a conspiracy that threatens not only the future of Slough House, but of MI5 itself.
