Silas, a high-ranking Counsel officer, lives a double life—dutiful officer and loving husband by day, and overwhelmed drug addict by night. Silas is forced to see drug dealer Rick to keep his habit fed and his secret a secret. Normally, Rick is pleasant enough, even giving Silas drugs on credit. But not this time. This time, Rick wants a favour. And in this world, a favour is the sort of thing that can easily destroy your life…

Karen is the leader of rebel group Defiance, who have (in episodes 1 – 3) been putting their plan to take down Counsel into action. But their plan is starting to fall apart, and Karen is much, much less than pleased about it. She smells a rat—and there’s only one way to deal with a rat… isn’t there?

Defiance have spent weeks laying the ground work for their plan—now, it’s time to see it through to the brutal, bloody end.
