Flashpoint

"Edge of Darkness" follows the high-stakes missions and intense trials of a Toronto police tactical unit.

The Strategic Response Unit is a handpicked team of elite cops, inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force. They handle high-risk operations, including hostage rescues, gang busts, bomb defusions, and suicidal teen interventions. Equipped with advanced weapons and technology, they are trained to see through walls and climb buildings. However, what sets them apart is their ability to use words and human intuition to negotiate and solve situations. On the scene, they are in charge, outranking senior inspectors and often clashing with regular uniforms. The job comes with immense pressure, affecting not only their work but also their personal relationships and families.
