Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons stars in two roles in this spy thriller which takes place in a captivating world of espionage, intrigue and government conspiracies.
Counterpart is about a mysterious world hidden beneath the surface of our everyday existence. Howard Silk (Simmons) is a lowly cog in the bureaucratic machinery of a Berlin-based United Nations spy agency.
When Howard discovers that his organisation safeguards the secret of a crossing into a parallel dimension, he is thrust into a shadow world of intrigue, danger, and double cross... where the only man he can trust is his near-identical counterpart from this parallel world.
The show explores themes of identity, fate and lost love, posing the eternal question, "what if our lives could have been different?"
