Edinburgh, 1896. Amy Alardyce's once-perfect life is in shambles. Her eldest son, Robert, has reached adulthood, taken control of his own home, and married his childhood sweetheart, Jane. However, with maturity has come a terrible legacy, and the dark desires Robert inherited from his evil father Matthew are struggling to break free.

While Jane works tirelessly to elevate her and Robert into fashionable society, poor women are being hunted on the streets of Edinburgh, and Amy fears her son is responsible. And once the infamous Inspector Murphy takes up the case, Amy is forced to make a stark choice: denounce her son as a monster or risk her own safety to protect him from the consequences of his lethal actions.
