Synopsis

«I am a secret spy» Didrik’s father once told him. Could the childhood memory be true? Was the absent father actually an agent on missions for the CIA? Piece by piece, a long life filled with many lies is put together.

Note from the artistic direction

​​"I’m a secret agent." This confession from a father to his 10-year-old son, Magnus, is the origin of THE AGENT. A lie or a true family secret? The series combines a fascinating family investigation, winding plot twists leading to the truth, with a true mastery of the cliffhanger, set against the backdrop of this universal question: where do we come from, and more importantly, from whom?
