A dark social critique of 18th-century institutional cruelty and class exploitation, centered on one woman's moral awakening amid the horrors of Bedlam asylum.

London, 1761. St. Mary's of Bethlehem, a sinister madhouse, is visited by wealthy people who enjoy watching the patients confined there as if they were caged animals. Nell Bowen, one of the visitors, is horrified by the deplorable living conditions of the unfortunate inhabitants of this godforsaken place, better known as Bedlam.
