About

London at the end of the 19th century. An era where the glamorous high society of the Victorian age coexists with a dark underworld rampant with poverty and crime. The aristocracy, the British Royal Family, and the underworld secretly intersect. While horse-drawn carriages traverse the streets, incidents never spoken of in polite society occur in nights shrouded in fog and soot. London at the end of the 19th century.
