Synopsis
Up the close and down the stair, meet the women of Burke and Hare
Edinburgh, 1828. Two women - one rich, one poor - must navigate life against a frenzied backdrop of medical discovery, mob mayhem, and murder.
Susan's sheltered life as the wife of Robert Knox, a wealthy anatomist, is a far cry from Helen's perilous existence in the Old Town slums with her lover William Burke.
Yet as people begin disappearing, these two different women face the same impossible choice. Should they protect what they have or tell the truth about what they know?
Discover the notorious serial killings of Burke and Hare, told for the first time through the eyes of women whose stories reveal the depths of the human heart.
