When, in this den of Victorian inequity, a student of medicine is persuaded to volunteer at a shelter devoted to reforming fallen women, his closest friend feels a gnawing sense of dread. But even he - who has experienced the devastating effect of falling in love with the wrong woman first hand - cannot foresee the macabre and violent events that will unfold around them.
