According to the official website of the film ARGYLLE, here is the synopsis.

The film ARGYLLE will center around a novelist, Elly Conway. Elly is a loner. For Elly, her happiness is spending nights at home with her computer and her beloved cat, Alfie.

However, when the plot of her fiction book—which revolves around the secret agency Argylle and its mission to uncover a global spy syndicate—starts reflecting the secret actions of real-life spy organizations, every night at home becomes a thing of the past.

In the face of these difficulties, Elly is accompanied by Aiden, a spy who is allergic to cats, as they travel the world to stay one step ahead of the killers, all while realizing that the line between fiction and reality is slowly becoming blurred.
