Plot Summary
A beautiful high class prostitute, Nicole, who has the ability to make her clients' fantasies a physical reality, is kidnapped from a brothel party by a gang of bestial intruders. Roy Bain, a former pimp and underworld enforcer, is called out of retirement by East End ganglord Motherskille to get her back. Though initially reluctant, Bain agrees, unable to ignore the plight of his former girlfriend. His investigations lead him to the peculiar Dr Savary who's invented a new drug, Whiteman, which he's been testing on human guinea pigs. Unfortunately, The drug has some nasty side effects and its prolonged use plays havoc with the user's genetic make up. The mutant victims of Savary's experiments have gone underground, forming a strange society in the dank, gloomy labyrinths beneath the London Docklands. Nicole is the only one of the Whiteman guinea pigs to have survived physically intact, though the tremendous powers the drug has given her make a valuable commodity to both the mutants and to Motherskille.
