When Felinski, a British agent, is parachuted into Germany three months before the end of World War II, his brief is to reorganize a small group of Russian agents abandoned by Moscow. In the chaos of Germany's impending collapse a friendship is formed that reaches into the events of the present day. The Networks shows with frightening authenticity the organization of a major subversive operation to bring industrial and social chaos to Britain, and the combined efforts of America's and this country's special intelligence services to uncover and destroy the Soviet plan.
