Victorian London is a playground, provided you are the right sort of person. Jack Snide has put a lot of effort into being exactly this type of person, and now it's all about to pay off. One final job, the score that will set him up for life and, ironically, it's entirely legal. Well, perhaps not entirely. Buying up a big part of the city does require money, a lot of it, and getting that amount of scratch together has been a little... tricky. But, ostensibly, it's all above board. It's almost like he's a good person. But when a mysterious trio of women assault his partner -- shady police constable William Mandragon -- he finds himself drawn into something larger than he can understand. But that's all right, there are things out there that understand a hell of a lot more than he or any other man, and they have designs on London.
