Mor Temorial photographer Brock Blennerhasset (Michael Smiley, Luther) makes a living out of photographing the dead in Victorian Ireland. With the help of his sharp-witted niece, Nancy (Eileen O'Higgins, Mary Queen of Scots), and eager new assistant, Conall Molloy (Kerr Logan, Alias Grace), Blennerhasset commemorates the recently deceased for grieving families. But when a series of murders threatens to sully Blennerhasset's reputation, tenacious detective Frederick Regan (Aidan O'Hare, Dublin Murders) drags him into an investigation of Dublin's criminal underbelly. With a killer on the loose and a black-market trade of illicit pictures growing ever more dangerous, will Blennerhasset save his job or end up as dead as one of his subjects?
Set within the fascinating historical period of postmortem photography, this darkly comic series blends murder mystery with delightfully macabre humour.
