The Gordin Cell is an Israeli psychological thriller series. The series stars Ran Danker as Israeli Air Force officer Eyal Gordin and Mark Ivanir as Russian Intelligence agent Yaakov Lundin.
Diana and Mickey Gordin immigrated to Israel from the Soviet Union in the 90s and adjusted in Israel, as they join the upper middle class. In fact, both were recruited by the KGB Intelligence Directorate to collect data for the organization, but that was a decade ago.
Since then it has had been many years, but their past haunts them again. Their liaison agent, the legendary spy, Yaacov Lundin, is back. He demands from them to transfer under his service their young son Eyal, an outstanding ex-officer of 669 unit, which serves now in the office of the Israeli Air Force Commander. While they try to escape from their past, the Shabak's Russian Department closes in on them, and Eyal himself struggles with the dilemma of becoming a traitor of the country he swore to serve and protect or betraying his family.
Two years after the events of the previous season, Eyal Gordin is a released prisoner and his parents live in the town in Moscow Oblast in Russia. Members of the Russian Department of Shin Bet, who retired from office, returned to service in order to track down Natalia Gordin, having wiped out the deputy head of The Mossad. Meanwhile, Natalia works closely with a Muslim assassin with Argentine origin while holding secret operation, under the nose of people from the Russian intelligence and the Mossad. Eyal, freed from prison, must work with the Israelis in order to help the Israeli intelligence to find his sister and again finds himself in an internal dilemma: whether to betray his family and give away his sister to the state authorities or do nothing?
In 2012, NBC purchased the broadcasting rights in U.S., and NBC approved the shooting of the pilot for the American version, which was expected to be called "M.I.C.E" (Money, Ideology, Coercion & Ego) but the pilot was not brought to series.. Later the pilot for TV series called Allegiance was ordered by NBC as an adaptation for the Israeli show.
