Hugh’s 5-part drama about a family – and a society – divided by far-right populist extremism begins broadcast tomorrow, Friday the 10th of October at 2.15pm on BBC Radio 4.
When Louise (Niamh Algar), a senior officer in the Garda Síochána, sees her brother Frank (Jonathan Forbes) on the news, taking part in an aggressive far-right protest, she is shocked. Not least because she had no idea Frank had been influenced by the populist extremists, who hurl accusations of ‘traitor’ at police and politicians alike.
But then Louise learns that Frank is connected to a much wider network. He’s in touch with organised extremists throughout Europe, Louise realises that Frank is on a path that could bring Ireland, and other countries, to the brink of chaos. The time has come to break up his network, whatever the family consequences.
Subsequent episodes of the series will be released weekly on Fridays on BBC Radio 4.
All episodes will be available to stream on BBC Sounds from October 10th.
