Overview Construction:
Season seven of the British spy drama series Spooks introduces officer Lucas North to the MI5 team. North joins the service after having spent the previous eight years held in a Russian prison. Upon his return, he is welcomed by Harry Pearce, who serves as the MI5 supremo. Pearce and North share a history as old friends, and it was Pearce who was instrumental in the process of finally securing North's release from captivity. The series follows the work of a group of MI5 officers based at the service's Thames House headquarters as they work against the clock to safeguard the nation. This season marks a new chapter for the agency as it integrates North into its operations. (Word count check: ~125 words. I need to reach 160-220 words).
