Richard Mayhew leads an ordinary life in London when one day a girl named Door falls, injured, across his path. The next thing he knows, his life is gone and he's pulled into the fantastical world of London Below. Pursued by the murderous Messrs. Croup and Vandemar, Door and Richard with the help of Hunter and the Marquis de Carabas, attempt to find the Angel Islington, who knows the secret behind the murder of Door's family, and possibly a way for Richard to go home.

When Richard Mayhew helps a wounded girl on the street, he finds himself beginning a nightmare journey that plunges him into a weird parallel world underneath London. The girl is on the run from two cut-throats who she thinks killed her family. But why are they after her? And now that Richard is involved, will he ever return to a normal life?
