　　時為2013年。倫敦經歷核爆後，英國的權力核心北移。襲擊警醒了軍情五處，他們必須在英國各地重組及建立辦事處，並從地方社區集合情報。

　　他們需要年輕的新探員在外執行任務。幸好英國的年青人足以應付這些挑戰，他們以新的愛國主義觀念作出反擊，並以快樂主義面對死亡。他們是新世代的愛國者，協助軍情五處設立新的19號辦事處（Field Office 19）。

　　這隊新人隊伍由經驗豐富的情報人員 Hannah (Joanne Froggatt, Life On Mars) 領導，成員包括數學家兼解決問題的天才 Charlie (Liam Boyle, Drop Dead Gorgeous)、充滿雄心壯志成為領導的前警員 Rachel (Ruta Gedmintas, The Tudors) 和新類型情報人員 Jez (Heshima Thompson, Prime Suspect: The Final Act)，一個改邪歸正的前罪犯。隊員還有捨家族生意而選擇軍情五處的 Vik (Christopher Simpson, Brick Lane)、在爆炸發生時是一名初級醫生的 Rob (Andrew Knott, The History Boys) 以及剛過了空檔年的心理學學生 Kylie (Georgia Moffett, Doctor Who)。

　　監製 Karen Wilson 說：「爆炸後近一年，英國似乎開始回復正常，但在表面之下卻有重大轉變。恐怖威脅和安全檢查站已成為日常生活的一部分，黑市亦興起，貨品包括身份證以至抗輻射藥物。這就是 Spooks: Code 9 的世界，這些都為軍情五處的年輕探員帶來一連串新威脅。」

The year is 2013. London has been evacuated following a nuclear bomb and the country's power base has shifted north. In the wake of the attack, MI5 must completely restructure and establish field offices across the UK, working to gather intelligence from the very heart of local communities.

They need young, new officers on the ground, and fast. Luckily, Britain's youth is more than up to the challenge and is fighting back from the attack with a new sense of patriotism, combined with the hedonism that comes from being face to face with their own mortality. It's members of this new generation of patriots who help make up MI5's new Field Office 19.

Led by experienced spook Hannah (Joanne Froggatt, Life On Mars) the rookie team is made up of Charlie (Liam Boyle, Drop Dead Gorgeous) a mathematician and genius problem solver, Rachel (Ruta Gedmintas, The Tudors) an ex-police officer with ambitions to be a leader, and Jez (Heshima Thompson, Prime Suspect: The Final Act) a new breed of spook altogether - a former criminal gone straight. As well as Vik (Christopher Simpson, Brick Lane) who chose MI5 over a career in his family's business, whilst Rob (Andrew Knott, The History Boys) was a junior doctor at the time of the bomb and Kylie (Georgia Moffett, Doctor Who) was a psychology student, just back from her gap year.

Executive Producer Karen Wilson explains: "Nearly one year on from the bomb, Britain is starting to get back to something resembling normality. But, under the surface, there have been massive changes: terror warnings and security checkpoints are regular features of everyday life, and there's a flourishing black market in everything from ID cards to anti-radiation drugs. This is the world of Spooks: Code 9 and it holds a whole new set of dangers for MI5's young pretenders."
