December 2074. Long Island has transformed into a gigantic metropolis fueled by new technology and an endless chain of corruption.

In the middle of this disillusioned era is Robin Reed, a retired detective trying hard to forget the tragedies of his past. However, five days before Christmas, the aging Guardian of the Golden Age finds his family missing with nothing but a malicious threat and an impossible task: Solve five cases in five nights. With everything he loves on the line, Robin must return to the life that took everything from him, as well as the city that has long forgotten his sacrifice. In this five-part detective series, Robin delves into the criminal underworld one last time on a journey that will test his intellectual and emotional limits, as well as how far he will go to save the people he cares about.
