David Morrissey (The Walking Dead) leads this distinctive and immersive genre-busting thriller adapted by Tony Grisoni (Red Riding) from the critically-acclaimed novel by renowned fantasy writer China Miéville.
In this extraordinary story, which will bend the mind as well as the senses, Inspector Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad investigates the murder of a student whose body is found on the rundown streets of Besźel. Cases like this are run of the mill for Borlú until he discovers evidence that the victim had been visiting Besźel's prosperous neighbouring city, Ul Qoma. This shouldn't be possible as citizens of each city are forbidden from seeing or interacting with each other, and borders are policed by the terrifying Breach. As he attempts to solve the case, Borlú comes to realise he has a personal connection to the crimes and must embark on an odyssey of the mind to find the truth he has always been seeking.
