What is the plot of COBRA: Rebellion?

Still reeling from the aftermath of the cyberattack that threatened his government, Prime Minister Sutherland’s leadership is once again tested when an environmental demonstration ends in fatal turmoil.

A controversial police-protest bill has also heavily impacted his popularity, sending his government to further uncertainty. 

As the investigation into the protest deepens, the Prime Minister and the COBRA committee realises there’s more than meets the eye. Even more baffling for Sutherland is his daughter’s involvement in the demonstration, making this case into a personal matter. 

As reasons and motivations start to unravel, the PM is forced to acknowledge the possibility of a rebellion within his own government. With danger and betrayal imminent, who can he really trust? 

The British political thriller is created by Ben Richards for Sky One.
