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.

Patriot Blue is a rag tag far right outfit led by BLAKE FARRON, a steroid and whisky addicted owner of a small rubbish removal business. They clash violently with ANTIFASC, an anarchist, far left group at a Muslim festival. A pair of young drifters, the charismatic KANE and his muscle friend STIX, join the fight and ultimately the right wing group. Blake’s younger wife ZOE, is clearly attracted to Kane.

Kane’s arrival disrupts worlds that had been in delicate balance. Alarmed anti-fascist leaders Petra and Danny use their technological advantage to try to unveil this new threat; whilst alt-right television shock-jock JAGO ZORIC is intrigued by the chance this newcomer provides to incite fresh conflict and deliver ratings. In the middle we see the rise of Muslim student Laila, after a passionate television appearance at the initial riot, she finds herself thrust into the role of representing a community and cornered into hard choices and unfamiliar territory.

Kane’s appearance also causes a ripple effect on his estranged family; upsetting the tenuous existences of his foster sister Cindi, who is in juvenile detention and planning a breakout; and his mother Gabe, whose traumatic past will begin to unravel with catastrophic consequences that only she can anticipate.
