One day, all over the world, death... stops. From CIA Agent Rex Matheson to death row inmate Oswald Danes, injuries and diseases that should be lethal suddenly aren't. Even Gwen Cooper -- in hiding on the coast of Wales with Rhys and their baby, Anwen -- learns that her father has survived a seemingly fatal heart attack. Moments after the onset of the so-called Miracle Day, an e-mail is distributed to the CIA containing just a single word: “Torchwood”. With the help of his analyst, Esther Drummond, Rex goes in search of Gwen. But somebody else is on her trail, too, forcing an explosive reunion with Jack Harkness.
