English professor Doyle, who lived in the 20th century, accepted an invitation from a mysterious enterprise boss to time travel through a rift and attend Coleridge's lecture in 1810 London during the Romantic era. Due to a mistake, Doyle misses the return journey and finds himself hunted by a variety of characters in the poverty-stricken streets of London from over a hundred years ago, such as an Egyptian wizard and a London underground crime organization. Meanwhile, strange events are occurring in the historically rich city of London – the enigmatic poet Ashbless fails to appear, Byron is not where he ought to be in Greece, but is instead inviting people to drink with him in the streets, and the notorious murderer "Dog Faced Joe" continues to evade capture despite his many crimes. Someone wants to summon a god and revive ancient Egyptian glory, while another desires eternal life and will stop at nothing to achieve it. As for Doyle, he only wants to know what happened in this London that is so far removed from everything he knows...
