The series, based on the 2012 novel of the same name by Daniel O’Malley, follows Myfanwy, “who wakes up in the rain beside London’s Millennium Bridge with no memory of who she is and no way to explain the circle of latex-gloved dead bodies splayed around her.”
She learns she’s a high-ranking official in the last truly secret service for people with paranormal abilities in Britain, the Checquy, and must navigate its “dangerous and complex world” to find out who erased her memory and why she’s being targeted.
