As acting commander of Counter Terrorism Command, Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) has been tasked with rehabilitating its image, for which she rolls out her flagship project, Operation Veritas, a surveillance system specifically built to be immune to manipulation.

Only, when Rachel witnesses a crime, yet footage from multiple cameras directly contradict what she saw with her own eyes, it becomes clear that Rachel has instead unintentionally endorsed and unleashed the ultimate tool of fascism. Isolated, derided and shorn of her integrity, she sets out on a lonely mission to uncover the true chain of command. Are media and tech firms serving the government, or is the tail now wagging the dog?

If you feel uneasy about the direction we're heading in but can't always articulate why, The Capture has a proven track record for predicting what's next.
