Modern London. Detectives Hicks and Renko, partners and enemies, strive to uphold the law and protect their loved ones, while the true end of the world looms on the horizon. Hicks is a corrupt police officer, but a loving family man. Renko differs from him in almost every way: lonely, complex, and utterly incorruptible. But despite all their differences, they continue to work together in anticipation of the apocalypse.
