Claudia Stephenson, a trance medium, was dying. She knew she had sought solutions to mysteries that lay in parallel worlds to our own and should have been avoided. During a seance at her home on Cathedral Road, Cardiff, in 1888, with her closest friends sitting with her for the last occasion, Claudia becomes a conduit for the dreams of another reality emerging: the murders in Whitechapel by the murderer who would become infamous as he slaughters five hapless women. At last, Claudia understands the essence of true evil, conscience, and the eternity that awaits all when they close their eyes for the final time.
