Some cases are over before they have begun...

Boxing Day in London is shaping up to be one of the worst on record for Detective Neil Townsend.

When a young family discover what appear to be their own bodies in a sealed cellar, Neil finds himself asked to work with an eccentric assistant of Scotland Yard.

Torn between his duty and his partner’s need to get to the pub before closing time, Neil is embroiled in his most testing case to date.

With possibilities running out and bars on every street, can Neil remain sober enough to solve the case before we all run Out of Time.
