A broken city.

Joe was a soldier in the British army. Now he's part of the underworld in London's east end.

A hunted man.

Joe is on the run from Hackney's most vicious gang. He doesn't know why, but they want him dead.

A ray of hope.

A twelve-year-old girl, a runaway, needs Joe's protection. She'll save his life. But can he save hers?
