WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 2025, Senator Charlene Roan (Mitchell) is the frontrunner for the forthcoming Presidential election for her vow to put an end to the annual Purge, which is where for one night of the year all crime is legal. She is protected by former police sergeant Leo Barnes (Grillo), now Head of Security for Roan after his own experiences during the Purge two years ago.
