Added DiffLines:

Andy Davidson wakes up in the 1950s. He’s chained to a bed, his clothes are missing and the building’s on fire. And if that wasn't enough, he promptly gets the key to an alien doomsday artefact stuck in his head.

The streets of Soho are swarming with gangsters, rumors and betrayals. But the doomsday artefact is out there somewhere, and Andy and Norton have to get to it first. Because tonight they’re going to save Torchwood.
