After five years' hard time, ex-soldier Hugh Marlowe emerges into the free world ready to fight anyone who stands in his way. Rough justice is all he knows. But when a beautiful, vulnerable woman asks for his help, Marlowe quickly finds himself a world away from the London gangland that he knows in a different life with its own problems. And its own dangers. Marlowe can see a light at the end of this tunnel, but the devil is waiting along the way, and not one of his faces is the same!
