Set in the not so distant future where genetic selection and physical perfection are the norm and all the qualities men and women aspire to can be purchased prior to birth. Those financially unable to ‘self-improve’ are shunned and ostracised to London’s King Cross district (The Kross). When a series of murders shakes The Kross, the unorthodox Detective Gunt is assigned to the case.
