The critically acclaimed series! Baker Street, the center of England’s punk movement in a London few would ever know, a life even less would ever see. Where being different is the rule, “ratting” the gambling vice of a city’s underground, and death is often around the next corner. Here is where mystery, intrigue, and suspense are more than a game to the residents of post Victorian London, it’s a way of life.

Baker Street, the name conjures up many images, mainly of Victorian London and the home of Sherlock Holmes.

A Sherlockian adventure set in an alternative but present day London. An England where World War II never happened and the Victorian era is resurrected into present day values. All of which only is the backdrop of the mysteries and a setting to clash with London's punk subculture.

A world unfolds as an American student takes up residence in a punk area of London which is mired in gang warfare, drugs, Goths, and a mysterious woman known as Harlequin who leads the way to keeping control of the near exploding area.
