Synopsis

Tony Stark has everything: extraordinary wealth, brilliant technology and one of the most powerful suits of armour in the world.

But behind the Iron Man helmet, his life is beginning to unravel.

As a series of dangerous attacks threatens Stark International, Tony finds himself facing mounting pressure, personal setbacks and enemies determined to destroy him.

Seeking escape in alcohol, Stark gradually loses control of his life, jeopardising his relationships, his company and his ability to function as Iron Man.

Ultimately, Tony must confront an enemy that no amount of technology or armour can defeat.
