Europe, the late 19th Century: Janick is a
brilliant but ultimately doomed young doctor in a remote town under the black
cloud of a great Plague. His radical theories about life and death make him an
outcast, driving him from his position at the medical college and from his
beloved Esmeralda, into exile. Soon after Janick disappears Esmeralda becomes
sick, and without his help, shortly dies. Enter a mysterious masked figure who
exhumes her newly deceased body, takes her back to his remote lair and begins
performing experiments upon it. Waking to find herself given a new life,
Esmeralda slowly begins to re-learn the simple acts of life: eating, walking,
dancing… all under the watchful tutelage of her mysterious savior. As awareness
slowly creeps back into her psyche, she begins to wonder what his true
motivations are. |
