Gothic

On a warm summer night in 1816 at the Swiss lakeside chateau of Lord Byron, the poet and his guests -- Percy Bysshe Shelley; his fiancée, Mary Wollstonecraft; her half-sister, Claire; and his private doctor John Polidori -- spend the evening sharing ghost stories while under the influence of experimental compounds provided by the doctor. As the night goes on, reality and the horrific tales begin to commingle.
