Inspector Kildare (Bill Nighy) is tasked with solving a string of grisly murders in Victorian London. Based on Peter Ackroyd's 1994 novel.
Set on the unforgiving, squalid streets of London in 1880, our tale begins in the baroque music hall where the capital’s most renowned performer Dan Leno (Douglas Booth) takes to the stage. He performs a monologue, informing his audience of the ghastly fate of a young woman who had once adorned this very stage, his dear friend Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke); for the songstress is facing up to her forthcoming death by hanging, having been accused of murdering her husband John Cree (Sam Reid). Lizzie’s death seems inevitable, until Detective Inspector John Kildare is assigned to the case of the Limehouse Golem – a nefarious, calculating serial killer, leaving behind barely identifiable corpses – and his distinctive, trademark ‘M’.
