Inspector Tyador Borlú, a member of the Extreme Crime Squad, is assigned to investigate the murder of a student from Beszel's sister city, Ul Qoman.

With its well-developed characters, immersive world-building, and captivating storyline, City and the City is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
