Bryce Dallas Howard is Elly Conway, the reclusive writer of a collection of very successful espionage stories, whose idea of happiness is a night at home with her computer system and her feline, Alfie. But when the stories of Elly’s imaginary books– which fixate scout Argylle and his mission to unwind an international spy distribute– start to mirror the concealed actions of a real-life spy organization, silent nights in the house end up being a distant memory. Accompanied by Aiden (Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (lugging Alfie in her knapsack) races across the globe to stay one step ahead of the awesomes as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to obscure.
