London, 1888. Amateur inventor, Tamworth, has just created the first moving image machine.
A modified pinhole camera with wax cylinders attached, he uses it to document a group of women who have fallen into a conspiracy that the violent ‘Jack The Ripper’ is not a man, but a monster.
But his account, though revolutionary, is itself distorted. The newspapers he reads are unregulated, the people he interviews confused by misinformation, and the events he captures cut off and mangled at the edges.
This disturbing journey into his sepia-toned rabbit hole delivers a haunting warning on the perspectives we are fed... as well as what - and who - we can truly believe.

Nestled in the North Sea, between the Northern tip of Scotland and the coasts of Scandinavia, Hel is cloaked in mystery, myth and misogyny. Isolated in a place where the local community despise her, and whilst buried traumas resurface, Anna is torn between the ghosts of the past and the gods of the present. As an ill wind blows through, young girls from this fractured community begin to vanish.

Thomas Greene is a reserved surgical theatre support worker in Liverpool, known for his polite nature and routine life. But everything changes when he kills a woman in self-defense - Mary, a deeply disturbed single mother who lured Thomas into her fractured world. She believed her children were still alive. They weren’t. The trauma of this moment shatters something within Thomas.
As the investigation into Mary’s violent past unfolds, Thomas finds himself haunted by what he saw - and what he did. But instead of guilt, he feels a strange calm. A calm that grows darker with every passing day.
Now, women across the city begin to vanish - each case linked by eerie silence and surgical precision. Detective Jack Latham suspects a pattern, but the killer leaves no trace. No emotion. No motive. Just method.
Behind the charm and quiet eyes, Thomas hides a growing obsession: cleansing the world of those he deems unworthy. The city remains unaware that a predator walks among them - one born not from rage or revenge, but from the cold clarity of silence.
