In London in 1892, excavations at Aldgate disturb a burial pit created during the Great Plague of 1665. A celebrated spiritualist claims that the displaced dead are punishing the city, and unexplained deaths in the East End give the warning a frightening appearance of truth.
Preacher Matthew West turns to doctor James Carlyle, whose scientific scepticism clashes with West’s knowledge of local fears and loyalties. As panic spreads, the two men investigate whether the supposed haunting conceals poisoning, fraud or a murderer exploiting London’s fascination with the supernatural.
