What Season 2 of Torchwood

Jack returns to Cardiff and reunites Torchwood Three to stop John Hart, a former partner of his who spreads chaos with bombs planted across the city. From there, the season moves through very different threats: alien flesh being traded as merchandise, an intruder who can erase memories, and night travellers who steal the last breath of citizens. The time rift lies behind mass disappearances. Gwen, who is still hiding her work from Rhys, pushes the team to investigate, while Jack drags along a past that won't leave him alone. Grey, the captain's missing brother, resurfaces, eager for revenge.
