The series follows a Neo-Nazi who plans to kill an MP and how his plan was foiled by an inside man.

With a looming Brexit vote wreaking havoc across the British political landscape, tensions are high for activist Matthew Collins (Stephen Graham) and his advocacy group Hope Not Hate, who fear a violent, racist campaign from the British far-right. And when a number of Islamist-related terrorist attacks rip through the British public in 2017, right-wing extremist group, National Action sense an opportunity.

When MP Jo Cox (Bryony Corrigan) is murdered in the street by a right-wing fanatic, National Action decide this is the moment to avenge the ‘downfall of white society’ in Britain, and plan to escalate a terrifying situation into a full-blown race war.

Episode One:
The far-right in Britain seizes on political unrest caused by the Brexit referendum and Muslim terrorist attacks, culminating in the murder of MP Jo Cox. Activist Matthew Collins must penetrate an ultra-far-right group planning more outrages, but police intelligence on the group is hazy.
