In the first film, Page Eight, Bill Nighy plays Johnny Worricker, a long-serving MI5 officer. He is involved in an investigation which results in him leaking a secret report, and having to leave the country for his own safety.
In Turks and Caicos, he is drawn back into the situation of events that started the first film. At the end, both he and his old girlfriend Margot Tyrell have to go on the run to evade capture by MI5.
In the final film, Salting the Battlefield, Worricker manages to resolve the situation, engineering the downfall of the prime minister, and is pulled back into MI5.
