A gripping six-part spy thriller set against the backdrop of the 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. When exiled couple Marie and Viktor return home after twelve years in London, they find themselves in a country on the brink of seismic political change. But their homecoming takes a dark turn: a mysterious car accident leaves Marie in a coma and Viktor missing without a trace. As Marie awakens in a nation she no longer recognises, she is thrust into a dangerous web of espionage, suspicion, and betrayal. Her search for Viktor leads her deep into the shadowy world of state security and dissident networks, forcing her to confront unsettling truths about her husband, her past, and the fragile line between loyalty and survival.



Set during a rarely dramatised moment in European history, The Sleepers combines emotional intensity with political intrigue, offering a suspenseful and atmospheric portrait of a society in transition - and of one woman’s fight to uncover the truth in a world where nothing is as it seems.
