Blitz Plot Summary
What happens in Blitz from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Detective Sergeant Tom Brant is a hot-headed police officer based at a turbulent South East London station. In a brutal early moment, he uses a hurley to subdue three would-be car thieves, setting a tone for a man whose impulses often pull him toward the edge. When Elizabeth Falls asks for help with her Sergeant’s exam, Brant advises patience, noting that she recently left rehab after a self-destructive stretch undercover with the drugs squad. His concern for her is sharply tempered by caution from his superior, a warning that hints at the danger of Brant’s volatile style—an issue a police psychologist later flags as a possible burn-out fault line, recounting earlier incidents of bugging the Superintendent’s office, a billiards hall altercation, and the earlier assault on the three youths.
