In the 60s, a battle for the soul of the city is fought between cops and criminals, the corrupt and the corrupted. November 1968. Judy Garland is performing drunk at the Palladium and the city of London is about to catch fire - literally. Called to a gas explosion, Detective Sergeant Cathal Breen unearths a shocking discovery beneath the rubble. Mind-bending paintings by Bridget Riley and Peter Blake - and the garrotted body of one Jacob Pugh, a playboy god in the art world. With Detective Helen Tozer, Breen must infiltrate the artistic demi-monde of a volatile and increasingly murderous city.
