The Reverend Ronald Kemp went to the East End of London with definite ideas of right and wrong, in keeping with a minister of the Church. However, the people of the East End had a few ideas of their own, and the Reverend quickly found his world torn apart as he met murderers, prize fighters, and the Toff! His reputation became as tarnished as the souls of those he ministered to, and only the Toff could bring him back to a state of grace and at the same time save both the Reverend and himself from a very untimely end!
