London. The coolest city in the world can also be the coldest... Meet Ness. An arrester. One of a handful of people in the world able to see things, subtle signals from the future, things that might be. But she'd rather not. Because it hurts her. It hurts her so badly. She is slowly picking her way through the city's forgotten corners, searching for her long-lost lover before the attrocities she has envisioned are visited upon him. But Ness is running out of time... As are Rache and Fi, heading south from Liverpool on a panicked, nightmarish journey fuelled by adrenaline and fear. They need to get to the capital soon if they are to save Liam from death at the hands of Bas Eachus, a notorious north London gun-for-sale, who is currently knee-deep in a shocking scam involving unfit meat and the city's seamier curry houses, soup kitchens, and kebab dens. But it's not as simple as that. Rache and Fi have been set a task: to kill three targets on Eachus's shit list within 24 hours. If they fail to contact him with evidence of their bleak odyssey at specific times, Eachus drains another pint of blood from Liam's body... The destiny of these desperate characters are inextricably bound to what patiently waits for them in the lost edges of London's map, where the ancient white spaces of banned territory will offer them salvation and horror in equal measure. Game. It's anything but ...
