London, 1942. Rachel Howells has arrived in the capital in search of a life of glamour and excitement. But she naively becomes entangled in a web of violence with army deserter Harryboy Jenkins who threatens her into joining his murderous schemes. Trapped in a brutal relationship, she is plunged into despair. Meanwhile the hands of private detective Johnny Hawkes are full as he is hired to investigate the bizarre murder of a transvestite - and delves into London’s secret nightlife to solve the mystery. His progress is slowed by mysterious authorities attempting to warn him off the case and the discovery that Peter, a runaway boy he befriended in an earlier case, has yet again fled from his foster home. Inexorably, the divergent paths of Harryboy and Johnny grow closer together until they collide with terrifying consequences. Harryboy has a tortured past and is without conscience.
