It is 1894 and something is stirring at London's Lyceum theatre- something terrifying, something breathtaking, something. . . supernatural. Sir Henry Irving, the greatest actor of his age, and his manager Bram Stoker, who is soon to thrill the world with his masterpiece Dracula, find themselves trapped in a dressing room at the dead of night. Nor are they alone. the men battle with a rising hysteria as a petrifying presence propels them from an evening of comedy to one of shock and dread.
