The Nightside is the supernatural heart of London, a dark place full of dark, shady characters, a corrupt place, where both dreams and nightmares come true, where anything can be bought for the right price, and where it is forever 3 a.m.
But to private detective John Taylor the Nightside is home, and he won''t allow his home to be destroyed - even if he has to defeat his own mother to save it.
He may be the only person able to stop her from exterminating the Nightside, a place she created - but there''s a prophecy which says no matter what action he takes, not only is the Nightside doomed, but the rest of the world will soon follow...
Nothing is ever simple.
