Police Response Officer Chris struggles with his mental health and marriage as he seeks redemption.
Chris drives a frontline response vehicle as a beat cop in his fragmented hometown of Liverpool. Night after night he faces crime, violence, and addiction on the streets, while battling against personal demons that threaten to destabilize his work, his marriage, and his mental health. When Chris is forced to take on a new rookie partner, Rachel, they both soon discover that survival in this high-pressure, relentless twilight world depends on them either helping – or destroying – each other. From the depths of helplessness and despair, with his own family slipping away from him, Chris clings to the idea of saving the life of a young addict trapped in a deadly dilemma. If he can save her, maybe he can save himself and rediscover what it means to be a police officer.
