Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Philby et Elliott resteront les gars en or du MI6, tandis qu'Angleton ne tardera pas à devenir le jeune chef du bureau de contre-espionnage de la CIA. Pendant plusieurs décennies, ils vont partager tous leurs secrets. Mais Philby garde pour lui une information capitale : il travaille en sous-main pour Moscou, et transmet les confidences de ses amis à ses maîtres espions soviétiques. L'Espion qui trahissait ses amis est une histoire de loyauté et de félonie sur fond de guerre froide.
