Táto séria sleduje obyčajného policajta z Oxfordu, ktorý sa nečakane ocitá vtiahnutý do tajnej vojny proti hrozivým entitám z iných dimenzií. S každým prípadom sa musí postaviť nadprirodzeným silám, ktoré ohrozujú samotnú realitu, hoci sa sám považuje za úplného hrdinu. Jeho cesta je plná nebezpečenstva, humoru a otázok o odvahe a hraniciach ľudských možností. Ide o pútavú zmes mestskej fantasy, akčného trileru a kozmického hororu.

When MI317 - the government department devoted to defending Britain from cosmic horrors and otherwordly threats - comes under attack, Arthur Wallace and his team begin a race from Area 51 to an Arctic town populated entirely by spore zombies to save the world and halt the destruction of humanity.
