The terror of the time has darkened their world. Now they'll have to fight for a new dawn.
Directed by Stephen Tolkin
Produced by HBO
A dystopian action-drama about a rebel fighting a tyrannical government's inhumane response to plague, balancing resistance and compassion against systemic darkness.
When a substantial portion of the nation's populace falls victim to a deadly plague, the tyrannical government quarantines them in camps, offering no alternative except death. But a gutsy rebel named Torch sets out to help the afflicted by leading an underground effort to spirit the victims to humane sanctuary.
