What Is Midnight Cop About?

The premise of Midnight Cop without spoilers.

When the clock strikes twelve, the city falls under a wave of violence. Hardened police commissioner Alex Glass, made cynical by a string of bad luck and constant exposure to Berlin’s underworld, teams up with his new assistant, the diligent and principled Shirly Mai. Together they investigate a series of gruesome murders that have plagued the drug‑riddled prostitution districts. Their main suspect is George Miskowski, a notorious dealer who supplies cocaine and heroin to the brothels.
