If you're ever in great danger, with nowhere else to turn, maybe you'll find help in the world beneath your feet...That's what happens to Yoshi, one night in London's Chinatown. Fleeing from a mystery pursuer, the boy finds himself in a sprawling, subterranean network of tunnels, tracks, vaults and lost waterways. It's also home to a band of street runners schooled in modern magic - the art of illusion and trickery. With help from his new friends, Yoshi uncovers his own vital part in a mission to tap the ancient forces underpinning the capital. But can he pull off the performance of a lifetime before his past catches up with him, or will life on street level fall under a dark and dangerous spell?
