About CIA

CIA follows by-the-book FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss), who is assigned to a secretive joint CIA/FBI task force. There, he is partnered with Colin Glass (Tom Ellis), a skilled but unpredictable CIA operative. Together, they conduct covert operations in New York, tackling international threats, terrorist networks, and complex geopolitical missions.

As Bill is pulled deeper into the shadowy world of espionage, he must quickly adapt to a new set of rules where moral lines blur and success often comes without recognition. Guided by Colin, the duo navigates dangerous assignments where the stakes are high and the truth is rarely clear.
