London in 1899. Jack and Esther Enright, with their four children in tow, have recently moved to a comfortable new home. Esther has settled into her dream job as headmistress of the local private school, owned by her mentor Emily Allsop. But things are not going so well for Jack.
Though he does not mind the commute to his high-ranking desk job at New Scotland Yard, he is disturbed by the level of recent resignations by uniformed constables in the East End. Though the police force has always been used to tackling crime in the more impoverished parts of London, a recent influx of Russian immigrants has led to gang warfare and vigilante justice, which is proving impossible to control. And when Esther’s school is vandalised with a disturbing message, Jack finds his detective skills are needed closer to home as well. Things escalate when one of the young pupils is abducted and Jack needs all the help he can get in finding the perpetrator before it is too late.
