ABOUT FLASHPOINT
It is 2009. The tensions on the Indian subcontinent between India and Pakistan continue unabated. A series of events brings the traditional rivals closer than ever before to a nuclear apocalypse. Flashpoint takes you on a roller coaster ride from the lives of those on both sides caught up in the unravelling crisis to the corridors of power where decisions are made which could kill over a billion people. From the cockpits of fighter planes in the skies above to submarines in the ocean depths, Flashpoint paints a chilling picture of what the next all out war in the Indian subcontinent could well be like.
