Victorian London. After the departure of her father, the death of her mother and the treacherous flight of her older brother Greg, all the care for her younger sister and brothers falls on the fragile shoulders of young Jenny Wilcox. Fortunately, she suddenly gets lucky — Sylvia, the owner of the Mercury Theater, takes her to work as a costume designer. Jenny is not afraid of hard work or bad omens, but in the theater she gets into a tangle of intrigue, betrayal and dark secrets. She doesn't believe in the other world, but the tragedies unfolding one after the other make you wonder if there's a sinister curse hanging over the theater.
