When 6 local Councillors in East London switch their allegiance to the right-wing British Way party, there is fear of race rioting in the area. MI-5 is called in to determine - and stop - any agents provocateurs that may be instigating activity in the local community. At a party rally William Sampson, a Member of Parliament, announces he will now run as a candidate for the new party. Youthful, handsome and articulate Sampson causes concern in the government and with the newly appointed National Security Coordinator, Juliet Shaw. MI-5 plans on causing dissension in the party between Sampson and Keith Moran, another of the party's leaders. When an Afghan asylum seeker is charged with the murder of a young girl, it provides the party with a perfect issue and a powder keg for MI-5.
