In a nightmare vision of the near future, the south of England is divided between two warring supremacist factions. London and the South East belongs to the Islamic Caliphate of Britain, whilst the South West is the stronghold of the White Alliance. A multicultural promised land called PUK (People's UK) is reputed to exist in the north, but a vast wasteland inhabited by the cannibalistic revenant dead, stretching from coast to coast across Wales and the English midlands, separates that utopian society from the bitterly war-torn south. Iwan Edwards is a Special Operative in the White Alliance Army, who makes contact and falls in love with Leanne Hussein, a fugitive activist who campaigns for human rights within the Caliphate.
