Synopsis

In his preparation room deep in the old part of Norwich, taxidermist Ludo Strewth chants the ancient spell of resurrection. As the magic hand of Glory burns, a great flash of light leaps out across the city. It awakens Strewth's collection of animals, it refracts through the windows of the Elm Hill Museum, where exhibits of soldiers stand frozen in time and it illuminates the face of American model Tuppence Trilby, striking Strewth with a madness to possess and preserve her beauty.
