Quatrième de couv’
It begins on a very normal Monday morning. But in the space of only a few days, the world’s oil supplies have been severed and at a horrifying pace things begin to unravel everywhere. This is no natural disaster; someone is behind this.
Oil engineer Andy Sutherland is stranded in Iraq with a company of British soldiers, desperate to find a way home, trapped as the very infrastructure of daily life begins to collapse around him. Back in Britain, his wife Jenny is stuck in Manchester, fighting desperately against the rising chaos to get back to their children; London as events begin to spiral out of control – riots, raging fires, looting, rape, and murder. In the space of a week, London is transformed into an anarchic vision of hell.
Meanwhile, a mysterious man is tracking Andy’s family. He’ll silence anyone who can reveal the identities of those behind this global disaster. The people with a stranglehold on the future of civilization have flexed their muscles at other significant tipping points in history, and they are prepared to do anything to keep their secret – and their power – safe.

Note
La série, développée de longue date par le producteur Sydney Gallonde de Make It Happen Studio avec des scénaristes français, à laquelle furent attachées un temps TF1 et l’actrice Alexandra Lamy – Last Light devait alors se faire dans le cadre d’une coproduction internationale -, est finalement produite par Rola Bauer de MGM Studios principalement pour le marché américain.
