Synopsis: “In this sequel to Code 8, Connor (Robbie Amell) is out of prison and working as a janitor at a community center, having cut ties with his former criminal associate Garrett (Stephen Amell). Connor’s attempt at staying out of trouble is destroyed when he’s forced to help 14-year-old Pav (Sirena Gulamgaus) escape from a pack of corrupt officers led by Sergeant King (Alex Mallari Jr.). King uses the newly launched robotic K9’s to track Pav down, while Connor finds himself once again reaching out to Garrett and his crew for help, but can he trust the man who landed him in prison in the first place?”

“In Part II, the story jumps forward five years, landing in the wake of public pressure to reform the police’s use of lethal force,” director Jeff Chan told Netflix‘s Tudum. “But instead of conceding power, it’s being shifted, repackaged, and resold to the public as a form of ‘change.'”
