The sharp scent of smoke curls through the chilly London air, mixing with the eerie silence of empty streets. B Smith’s footsteps echo on cracked pavement, following strange red arrows and a mysterious 'Z' scrawled everywhere. What secret fight is waiting ahead, and can B trust the Angels who claim to protect the living?
