LatestThe truth is finally revealed during a tense stand-off with the highest stakes.
Set in a society where all men live under 'The Women’s Safety Act', meaning they are bound by a strict curfew from 7PM to 7AM every night, with their movements tracked by an ankle tag 24 hours a day. When a woman's body is discovered, brutally murdered during curfew hours and left on the steps of the Women's Safety Center, veteran Police officer Pamela Green believes that a man is responsible. But in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, her theory is rejected.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The curfew premise deliberately echoes real-world women's safety campaigns that flip victim-blaming onto men, then asks: what if the state actually enforced it?
Creator Colm McCarthy also directed Peaky Blinders episodes; his love of oppressive institutional spaces carries over but the gender politics are entirely new terrain for him.
