In September 1799 William Pitt is attempting to force through anti-slavery legislation. Many have a vested interest in preventing this change, and would go to dangerous lengths to stop it. Meanwhile, Tom Pascoe of the river police is grieving for the woman he loved, killed by his enemy, and looking for solace at the bottom of a bottle. Tom's drinking has made him increasingly belligerent and unpredictable, so when he is called to a body in the Thames - that of an MP and a close associate of William Pitt - there's doubt over whether he's up to the task.
