Hluboko pod ulicemi Londýna žije Tuesday. Labyrint opuštěných tunelů se stal jejím domovem i útočištěm. Sem se uchýlila, aby se schovala před lidmi, kteří jí krutě ublížili. Odtud se jim mstí. Ukradli jí celý život. A ona jim teď vezme ten jejich. Nemá už totiž co ztratit. Když se objeví spojení mezi Tuesday a brutálními útoky na členy londýnského gangu, přistane případ na stole detektiva Losse: vyhořelého policajta, kterého pronásleduje stín nikdy nevyřešené vraždy jeho dcery. Před třemi lety mu zemřela v náručí. Přišel pozdě a nikdy si to nepřestal vyčítat. Co je to za policajta, když neumí najít ani vraha vlastní dcery? Teď ale Loss poprvé znovu cítí naději: možná je právě případ Tuesday klíčem ke zjištění, proč musela jeho dcera zemřít.
