Ponies storyline
The series follows Bea and Twila, two ordinary women whose lives are shattered when their husbands, CIA operatives, die in a plane crash in the Soviet Union. Struggling to cope with this new reality, they are unexpectedly recruited as undercover agents by the CIA. Taking into consideration how these two women seem to be harmless and unimportant, they receive the code name ‘PONIES’, which means ‘persons of no interest’.
