Lord Byron and his fellow Romantic poets gather at a secluded mansion. A demonic séance plunges them into a sex and opium-fuelled nightmare world. Russell delivers some of his weirdest and nastiest imagery in this recreation of the fateful night that inspired the writing of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
