Season 1:
Patriot Blue clash with anarchist group Antifasc at a Muslim festival. Kane’s arrival disrupts the balance, and causes ripples through his estranged family. Laila is thrust into the role of publically representing a community.
Kane broadens Patriot Blue’s mission and his relationship with its leader’s wife, Zoe, reconnects with his sister Cindi. Gabe is heartbroken by Kane moving in fascist circles, but has keeps own shadowy connections.
Blake is suspicious of Kane’s rising popularity and puts him to the test. Kane makes his move to assume power. Gabe alerts Marco of Kane’s return, and police intelligence is compromised.
Kane’s takeover of Patriot Blue gathers momentum. After a failed ambush at a Patriot Blue funeral, Antifasc strikes back, with consequences spiralling out of control, inflaming racial tensions.
Both sides become focused on George Anabasis, a centrist politician with influence over a controversial Muslim immigration bill. Laila seeks his protection. Kane’s attention is diverted by his feelings for Zoe and a potential deal with Marco.
The story concludes in real time, as the competing groups converge on Anabasis. Extreme sentiments are enflamed on all sides and a violent conclusion ensues.
