In Nick Perry's time travelling drama series, London is not one but many cities; a city of curious anomalies and dark secrets, of hidden portals to other dimensions. A city so vast and varied that the weird and the uncanny blend seamlessly with the ordinary, where the person sitting next to you on the bus, or walking beside you on the pavement, may in fact be a visitor from another time.

Alice is convinced that her missing brother Alan is lost in time and is determined to rescue him and bring him back to the present. After discovering a portal atop the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, Alice travels back to a 17th century ravaged by plague and fire, and abounding with curious anomalies and dark secrets. She returns to the present, unsure if it was her brother who aided her escape or of what is causing her to have such strange visions.
