Philadelphia, 1921. After spending years in California recovering from Influenza, Edie Shippen vows to begin living her life as a modern woman. Gilbert Lawless hides away in the office of Philadelphia's Coroner, content to keep to himself until a gruesome series of corpses come into the morgue. And when his sister, Lizzie, goes missing, he risks his career to beg help from the one person Lizzie seemed to trust: her employer, Edie Shippen. It soon becomes clear that Lizzie's disappearance is connected to the deaths rocking the city - and it's only a matter of time until the killer strikes again.
