Adapted from Jayne Cowie's novel After Dark, Curfew is set in an alternate reality where all men live under The Women's Safety Act and are bound by a strict curfew from 7pm to 7am every night – with their movements tracked by an ankle tag.

But when a brutal murder takes place during curfew hours and the woman's body is left on the steps of the Women's Safety Centre, police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) believes that a man is responsible.

But given the curfew system, her theory isn't believed.

In the series, The Women's Safety Act is widely considered as effective at protecting women, who have been able to go out at night without looking over their shoulders, and nobody wants to hear different.
