Stephen Graham will star in a new ITV drama based on the true story of how a Neo-Nazi plan to kill an MP was foiled by an inside man.
Written by Oscar nominated and BAFTA multi award-winning screenwriter, Jeff Pope, the drama is described by producers as an explosive state-of-the-world series that explores some of the most critical and relevant issues of modern times including racism, freedom of speech and terrorism.
Stephen takes the leading role of activist Matthew Collins, a reformed Neo-Nazi, now working as a journalist for the anti-racist organisation Hope not Hate.

The Liverpool-born actor has previously worked with Mr Pope on Little Boy Blue, an ITV drama about the murder of Rhys Jones in Croxteth and subsequent police investigation.
His latest role will see him play a man who became a mole from within the BNP, before returning to Britain to make a new life for himself.
The Walk-In focuses on Collins and his work to stop the radicalisation of young white men before it begins. We’ll see him identify a Far Right Neo-Nazi group marking itself out with a youthful clean-cut image, hell bent on creating race war.
His modus operandi is to infiltrate such organisations by running moles, or walk-ins, with the goal of publishing information online about their activities to expose and fracture them.
The ITV drama will air from Monday, October 3, with the remaining four episodes then being shown weekly. All episodes will be available as a boxset drop on the ITV Hub following after the first episode.
