Publisher's summary
The year is 1987 and there’s a deadly new narcotic on the streets of London. As part of their investigations the Doctor and his companions Chris and Roz move into the Quadrant, a rundown housing estate. An ancient alien menace has been unleashed, a menace somehow linked to a local gang leader known as The Capper, a charmed young boy called Gabriel and his mother Winnie, the enigmatic Frei Foundation, and Eva Jericho, a woman driven to the brink of madness. As London descends into an apocalyptic nightmare, the Doctor must uncover the truth about the residents of the Quadrant and a desperate bargain made one dark Christmas Eve.

Deviations from the original novel

 * Chris and David only kiss, whereas in the original novel they had sex.
 * Mrs Hearn is excised from the story, although she is referred to.
 * The Capper jumps from the building rather than setting himself on fire.
 * Mrs Jericho runs Thomas over rather than sticking cutlery in his chest.
 * Dr. Greco works for the Torchwood Institute, rather than the Brotherhood.
 * The N-Forms were activated by the Last Great Time War rather than the Brotherhood (this was an ongoing story arc in the New Adventures.)
 * Bev and Gabriel survive, whereas in the novel the only member of the Tyler family who remains alive is Gabriel, who is in a coma. After Winnie dies, Bev and Gabriel are adopted by David and Harry, thanks to the Doctor intervening in processing the paperwork.
