Spoilers ahead
Across the ages there have always been Others—humans with supernatural gifts—divided between the forces of Light and Dark. In medieval times a great clash erupts, but the two faction leaders, Geser and Zavulon, call a truce and set up policing forces to maintain it: the Night Watch for the Light and the Day Watch for the Dark. In the modern world, a fragile balance seems to hold until a dramatic turn of events in Moscow reveals just how thin the line between ordinary life and the supernatural can be.
