In Victorian London, a city of spies, one woman is about to be caught in a web of conspiracy and only one man has the power to protect her.

In 1880s London, pornographic bookseller Verloc is a double agent for the Russian government, providing information to Chief Inspector Heat about a lazy anarchist organization. In order for the anarchists to be arrested, an act of terrorism must occur.
