After seven years and five seasons, The Boys is coming to an end.

Annie (Erin Moriarity) struggles to resist the overwhelming super power. Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) is nowhere to be found. But when The Butcher (Karl Urban) reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all monsters from the map, it sets off a chain of events That will change the world and everyone in it forever.
