Set against the haunted backdrop of 1800s Salem, Massachusetts, this gothic psychological horror follows Arthur Rose—a gifted tailor whose life is shattered by a lie.

Wrongfully convicted of murdering the wife of Dr. Sinwell Bamforth, the ruthless and power-hungry director of Danvers Lunatic Asylum, Arthur is condemned to years of torment within its walls. One of the only villagers who ever saw Bamforth for the manipulative tyrant he truly was, Arthur becomes an easy scapegoat for a crime he never committed.

Inside the asylum, Arthur forms a fragile alliance with Charlotte, a nurse who recognizes his innocence. After years of degradation, the two orchestrate a catastrophic fire meant to wipe the asylum—and Bamforth—off the face of the earth. But Bamforth survives. Arthur, presumed dead by the world, escapes into the night.

Taking on a new identity—Simon Taft—he hides in plain sight within Salem. With help from Charlotte and a local pub owner who shelters them, he resumes his old craft and quickly becomes the finest tailor in the city. But beneath his calm facade boils a single obsession: avenge the death of his wife, whose demise he learned of only after his escape.

As Simon draws closer to Bamforth, his grief rots into rage. His pursuit of justice warps into a hunger for blood. One by one, anyone standing between him and the director is pulled into his descent, as the line between victim and monster dissolves.

Arthur Rose entered Danvers an innocent man.

Simon Taft emerges something far darker.
