    Summary

    Homeless people are disappearing from the streets of Cardiff.

    No missing persons reports. No witnesses. No pattern anyone can see.

    Then a body washes ashore beneath the barrage, and the dead man looks as though he died grateful.

    As Torchwood uncovers a conspiracy hidden behind one of Cardiff's most trusted charities, the investigation demands an impossible sacrifice. To get close enough to expose the truth, Ianto Jones must step into the orbit of the man at its centre and convince him the interest is real.

    For the first time since they found each other, Jack and Ianto are forced to live a lie that neither of them can escape. Every touch, every smile and every stolen moment comes with a price, while the line between performance and survival grows thinner by the day.

    Some monsters wear teeth.

    Others offer you soup.
