The series places real-world senior politicians, military leaders, and intelligence chiefs in a simulated COBR-style crisis room.

The simulation unfolds with military reports, news updates, and social media, challenging the team to make split-second strategic decisions. Developed with leading academics and defense experts, including Sky News' Deborah Haynes, the series replicates high-level political decision-making pressure. The impressive cast includes Lord Gove as Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon as Deputy PM, Penny Mordaunt as Defence Secretary, and Anthony Scaramucci as US Secretary of State.
