The UK has been overrun with the Rage Virus. Gradually though, a repopulation has begun, with armoured satellite towns set up across the country. One such refuge is Middleriver, which is currently undergoing reconstruction after a series of disastrous events a month ago.
Middleriver Torchwood Leader, Sapphire ‘Napalm’ Jones is contacted by ‘Agent Kronos’ of the elusive organisation Delta Green UK. In short : there’s a problem at a facility in the Pennines, described as ‘rift related, information leakage’. DG(UK) urgently require Torchwood’s assistance.
Eager to establish contact with DG(UK), Sapphire is granted permission to proceed with the operation, and the services of U.N.I.T. will provide an escort into the Rage-infected countryside. These are under the command of Torchwood’s old friend, U.N.I.T. Captain Lucy Hawkins.
