There is one part of the city where no one likes to go - a collection of dilapidated old houses and gloomy streets. No one stays there for long, and no one can explain why - there's just something wrong there. Now the City Council is regenerating the area, and a new company is overseeing the work. Street parties and events will be held here to popularize the revived area: clowns and face painters for children, magicians for adults; There is no escape from Cardiff street performers. None of this is a Torchwood problem. Until Toshiko recognizes the sponsor of the street parties: it is Bilis Manager. Now Torchwood has something to investigate. However, Captain Jack Harkness is unable to enter the area; when he is nearby, he becomes physically ill. Without Jack's help, Torchwood must face the dark side of Cardiff alone...
