The story of a post-apocalyptic future London where the wealthy are top of the chain and the poor are barely able to survive. Somewhere in between are the executioners, coliseum gladiators who enact the punishments laid out for the justice system. Ethan Bale Jr. is one of the wealthy, a cruel man who purchases the powerful, wildly stubborn, and deliciously tempting Drake, one of those famed executioners, and enslaves him mind, body, and eventually soul; all the while dealing with the threats of the dangerous and mysterious Reagan.
