Junktion is a town in the Underhive, which is where you end up after hitting rock bottom.
Sinden kass works as a lamplighter, keeping the juice flowing and making sure there's enough light to see trouble coming before it's too late.
After the guilds and the gangs start moving in, and he becomes the only lamplighter left in town, he has to try and stay alive long enough to figure out what to do.

Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but much more personal than Space Marines or Imperial Guard novels, it has a more oppressive feel than they do.
Also much darker than the Kal Jericho novels in the same setting, this really gives the feel for things spiralling out of control of someone who just wants to do his job and get paid but finding themselves pushed to the forefront of events.
