Serving as inspiration for the TV show, The Americans, Rosamund Pike leads us through the story of Cindy Murphy. Cindy is a seemingly normal American mother and wife, working a finance job in Manhattan in the early 2000s. Cindy is unassuming, and she'd better be because she's actually a Russian spy, living in the US under deep cover. Pike uncovers what it would've taken to get into the job, what her day-to-day life might have looked like, and the toll it might have taken on her. And of course how she got found out.
