New series Allegiance delves into the search for truth in a flawed justice system
The new police procedural looks at identity and belonging as well as policing and politics.
Step into the world of Sabrina Sohal, a star rookie cop who finds herself at the forefront of a difficult battle to clear her politician father's name.
Sabrina is forced into a position where she must navigate the difficult lines between her duty, her country and her family. Paired with veteran training officer Vince Brambilla, who doesn't always agree with Sabrina's forward-thinking ways, the two must work together to find a common ground and collaborate.
This isn't just a story about fighting crime — it's a story that delves into the very essence of identity and belonging.
Who is in Allegiance?
Supinder Wraich is Sabrina Sohal
