Desk Sergeant Richard Gough, in all his years of policing the London streets, had grown tired of there being rent boys hanging around on street corners.

A few years back, not that anyone really noticed or cared, boys started disappearing from street corners as if they were never there. Some of the boys, aged between 13 to 18 years old, were not even rent boys. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The taken rent boys found themselves trapped in an undisclosed location known as The Nunnery. The Nunnery, a Shakespeare reference, is a brothel house.
