England, 1899. When young doctor Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess) arrives
at Stonehearst Asylum in search of an apprenticeship, he is warmly
welcomed by superintendent Dr. Lamb (Ben Kingsley) and a mesmerizing
woman named Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale). Edward is intrigued by
Lamb’s modern methods of treating the insane…until a series of unusual
events leads him to make a horrifying discovery, exposing Lamb’s utopia
and pushing Edward to the limits of his conscience. Inspired by Edgar
Allan Poe’s short story The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether,
Stonehearst Asylum is a tale in which nobody is who or what they appear
to be.
