The official synopsis reads "Atomic is an adrenaline-charged, cinematic five-episode odyssey through the labyrinthine medinas and bustling metropolises of North Africa, across inhospitable deserts and hostile borders, where Max and Mohammed - with their lively, funny and unexpected camaraderie - wonder whether some kind of atonement is possible amidst the madness."
The series is based on the non-fiction book 'Atomic Bazaar’ by Vanity Fair journalist William Langewiesche and is produced by Pulse Films in association with Sky Studios.
