Matters are complicated with a shocking plane crash involving the Prime Minister, which leaves Chief Whip John Hodder (Charles Dance, Game of Thrones, Bleak House) poising Tom for the appointment of replacement PM.

Based on the novel A Very British Coup by Chris Mullins, this four-part series follows Dawkins along a quest for the truth that is mired with financial, diplomatic, and personal hurdles that include a banking scandal, impending war, and his most personal secrets being exploited by journalist Ellis Kane (Gina McKee, The Forsyte Saga, Notting Hill) as political fodder.
