In 1840 Scotland, Doctor John Abernathy relies on a grim trade—procuring corpses for his experiments—entrusting the task to his ruthless henchman, Drum, known as the "grave rat." When Drum crosses a line by making unwanted advances on the doctor’s daughter, he’s beaten and warned. But the threat lingers: Drum swears revenge, and next time, he’ll deliver her corpse.
