At Oxford University, a group of students smoke heroin after a formal, and one of the women in elegant dresses is shown to also be unresponsive.
At the London offices of Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise, director of investigations Angus Blake (Douglas Hodge) and his head of operations, Don Clark (Steve Coogan), read about both deaths, and Blake gets called into his boss’ office.
With a recession looming, PM Margaret Thatcher wants a win, so she’s targeting England’s heroin epidemic.
Customs would lead the effort to stop the flow of heroin into the country, but Blake tells his boss in no uncertain terms that they don’t have the resources.
He doesn’t get extra money, or gets to hire anyone, but gets the freedom to train current Customs agents to go undercover.
He puts Don, who used to be undercover himself, in charge of the training.
Storyline for Legends on Netflix
Set in the early 1990s, when Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise was losing its battle with illegal drug smuggling (across Britain’s borders), a group of British Customs employees are sent undercover to infiltrate some of the U.K.’s most dangerous criminal (drug) gangs.
However, these were not trained spies; they were normal men and women, plucked from their ordinary lives, and placed into this top-secret operation.
After going through a basic training regime, they were tasked with building new identities in the criminal underworld.
These identities were called Legends.
