Sinopsis

Description:
Julian and Kevin, two broke construction workers living in a damp basement, stumble upon a terrifying yet lucrative secret hidden within the walls of a remote psychiatric hospital. Desperate for cash after Kevin's medication runs out, they are offered a bizarre deal by the enigmatic Dr. Vincent: earn $300 each for a single night's work. What begins as a simple, if unsettling, errand plunges them into the shadowy experiments of Dr. Marcus, a neuroscientist who believes he can manipulate human emotion and memory through electrical brain stimulation. As they witness patients subjected to agonizing procedures and addictive 'treatments,' Julian and Kevin must decide how far they're willing to go for fast money. Trapped between poverty and a chilling moral abyss, they uncover a password to wealth far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Can they get rich without losing their minds?

    Holmes is visited by Mrs. Merrilow, a landlady from South Brixton who has an unusual lodger who never shows her face. She saw it once accidentally and it was hideously mutilated. This woman, formerly very quiet, has recently taken to cursing in the night, shouting "Murder, murder!" and "You cruel beast! You monster!" Also, her health has taken a turn for the worse, and she is wasting away. Mrs. Merrilow has brought this case to Holmes's attention as her tenant, Mrs. Ronder, will not involve the clergy or the police in something that she would like to say. She has told her landlady to mention Abbas Parva, knowing that Holmes would understand the reference.

    After Paloma’s husband, a homicide detective, discovers an obscure movie poster pinned on a mutilated corpse on stage at the Chicago Theater, she knows that the only person that can help solve this mystery is Grand. When another body appears at an abandoned historic movie palace the deaths prove to be connected to a silent film, lost to the ages, but somehow at the center of countless tragedies in Chicago.
