In the summer of 1849, cholera threatens the city and the people of
London. The authorities send millions of gallons of sewage
cascading into the Thames - for many Londoners the only source of
drinking water. Joshua Jeavons, a young and idealistic engineer,
embarks on an obsessive quest to find the cause of the epidemic. As
he labours in a fog of incomprehension, his domestic life is
troubled by the baffling coldness of his beautiful bride, Isobella.
But when she suddenly disappears, his desperate search for her
takes him to a netherworld of slum-dwellers, pickpockets and
scavengers of subterranean London.
