A young woman needs help in finding the buried pieces of her lover... so he can return to waking life.

Pale-faced thieves gather by a disused railway to watch a puppet theatre of love and violence.

A series of inexplicable deaths uncover a secret cult of machine worship.

When a migrant worker disappears, the key suspect is a boy driven mad by memories that are not his own.

Among the derelict factories and warehouses at the heart of the city, an archaic god seeks out his willing victims.
