Gustine, a fifteen-year-old prostitute in nineteenth-century England, agrees to procure the dead bodies of victims of the bubonic plague for surgeon Henry Chiver to use in his anatomy school in exchange for his care of her baby boy, who was born with a remarkable anatomical defect, but her loyalty to the doctor is challenged by his growing greed and his obsession with the child.
