After being captured by a group of religious extremists, Bill Masen is forced into servitude, chained to a blind man and made to lead him around a devastated and increasingly chaotic London. Meanwhile, Josella, whom Bill had just begun to connect with, has been taken elsewhere by the same group, her fate unknown.
These religious zealots believe the mass blindness is divine punishment for society’s sins, and they reject the utilitarian ideals of Beadley’s group, which they see as immoral. They insist that the sighted must remain with and serve the blind as an act of penance.
