From the world of Terry Nation's cult-classic series. The world has ended. The pandemic crossed continents, sparing only a fraction of the global population. The survivors are now trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild society to create a new future.

And the worst of human nature has survived along with the best. Food shortages threaten the stability of the New Federal Government. Prime Minister Celia Tate clings to power and Robin Page - once a thorn in her side and now a minister - becomes involved in an uprising to depose her. Once again, the world is changing, and the best Abby and Jenny can hope for is to survive. 3.1 The Turning Part One. Caught between an increasingly authoritarian Prime Minister and activists determined to bring down the New Federal Government, Jenny struggles to prevent the collapse of everything they've worked so hard to build. 3.2 The Turning Part Two. Answering her friend's desperate call for help, Abby returns to find Cambridge in chaos, and Jenny is surrounded by danger and betrayal as a new regime desperately try to restore order. 3.3 Samaritans.

But as the cold and dark close in it's not only the animals that come out at night...
