In 1934, four outstanding students at Cambridge University--Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Kim Philby, Donald Maclean--who shared a passion for communism, were recruited to spy for the Soviet Union. Over the next 20 years the men assumed prominent positions in their chosen fields whilst passing on vital information to the Russians. Amidst a world of espionage, lies, bluffs, homosexuality and alcoholism, the four share a bond in the form of their common betrayal.
