Set near London around Christmas, Black Doves is a sharp, action-packed and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down-to-earth, devoted wife and mother - and professional spy. For ten years she has been passing on the secrets of her politician husband to the shadowy organization she works for: the Black Doves.
When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is murdered, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), enlists Helen's old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) to protect her. Together, Helen and Sam go on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why. In doing so, they discover a vast, interconnected conspiracy that connects London's dark underworld with a looming geopolitical crisis.
The cast of Black Doves also includes Andrew Buchan, Adeel Akhtar, Tracey Ullman, Finn Bennett, Luther Ford, Kathryn Hunter, Sam Troughton, Ella Lily Hyland, Adam Silver, Ken Nwosu, Gabrielle Creevy, Omari Douglas and Paapa Essiedu.
