In the clammy shadows of Victorian London, an American Pinkerton agent named William Pinkerton, son of the agency's famed founder, sets out to resolve the chilling enigma of the Road Hill House murder, a crime that has long lingered unsolved.
As Pinkerton delves into the case, his path crosses with that of Adam Foole, an elusive con man whose life is intricately linked to the underbelly of London's underworld.
Haunted by his own dark past and shadowed by the relentless pursuit of law, Foole navigates a treacherous path, driven by a mysterious quest for redemption.
Their convergence throws light on a web of intrigue and deceit, exposing the dark secrets concealed beneath London's gaslit streets, where nobody is quite as they seem, and the line separating justice from vengeance blurs with every step.
