Synopsis (No Spoilers)
Leo Stanhope is a transgender man working as a Coroner’s Assistant, during Victorian era London.
At the local brothel, he’s met and fallen in love with a sex-worker named Maria. Leo dreams of a better life for Maria and desires to settle down with her.
He pursues a courtship, inviting her to meet him at the theatre on a Sunday afternoon.
She stands him up.
The next day at work he finds Maria, deceased.
Believing her death was a murder, and determined to solve the crime (because the police won’t give it any attention), Leo sets out to find Maria’s killer.
