Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city. Befriended by a gang of street kids and their mysterious leader, the Theif Lord, they shelter in an old disused cinema.
On their trail is a bungling detective, obsessed with disguises and the health of his pet tortoises. But a greater threat to the boys' new-found freedom is something from a forgotten past-a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself.
