Het is een verhaal van bedrog, verlossing en wraak. Dit alles speelt zich af in de aaneengeschakelde levens van twee voormalige soldaten: Major Hugh Collinson en John Porter. Hun paden hebben elkaar zeven jaar geleden voor het laatst gekruist. Nu, temidden van een nieuwe crisis in het Midden Oosten, staan hun levens op het punt elkaar weer te kruisen.

Episode 1 Iraq: Part One

On the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a Special Forces unit takes part in an operation to release a hostage, weapons contractor Kenneth Bratton, during which, John Porter (Armitage) disarms a boy named As'ad wearing a suicide vest. After the hostage is found, two soldiers are killed and one is left in a vegetative state. Believing the boy was responsible, and that Porter did not kill him, he is dishonourably discharged. Fellow officer Hugh Collinson (Lincoln) becomes the head of Section 20 of MI6. Seven years later, journalist Katie Dartmouth (Brady) is kidnapped outside Basra by the "Sword of Islam"; the kidnappers demand the release of one of their comrades from Belmarsh Prison. Upon realising one of the kidnappers is As'ad, Collinson "reactivates" Porter. A separate unit is tasked with retrieving Dartmouth after tracking the live feed, but are killed when the building rigged with explosives detonate. In the end, Porter goes on his own to the same apartment building during the same operation seven years previous.
