It's about Alec Leamas, a spy for the United Kingdom who already resigned from the Circus (British Secret Intelligence Service) and the command of Station at The West Berlin office of the British Secret Intelligence Service. He is recalled to the Circus in London after Karl Riemeck (the last double agent), is shot dead while defecting to West Berlin.
