London 2048: Pastworld is the greatest theme park ever devised. A chance to return to the Victorian era of horse-drawn carriages, gas lamps and free, rumbustious living. But what are the costs of bringing the past back to life? A young man and woman will find their fates entwined as a fearsome killer threatens the very existence of Pastworld.

Pastworld. A city within a city. A city for excursions and outings. Pastworld is a theme park with a difference, where travellers can travel back in time for a brush with an authentic Victorian past. But what if the Jack the Ripper figure stopped play-acting and really started killing people? For Caleb, a tourist from the present-day, his visit goes terribly wrong when his father is kidnapped and he finds himself accused of murder. Then Caleb meets Eva Rose, a Pastworld inhabitant who has no idea the modern world exists. Both Caleb and Eva have roles to play in the murderer's diabolical plans - roles that reveal disturbing truths about their origins.
