Description

Audrey Death has been in a state of semi-consciousness for half a century. After falling victim to Encephalitis lethargica, she was left in a coma-like state at Friern Barnet Mental Hospital. Her life before the illness is slowly revealed through her experiences, including her socialist lover and involvement with the Suffragists, as well as her work in a munitions factory during the First World War. A new and powerful drug is introduced, which brings Audrey back to life with the help of Dr Zack Busner, a maverick psychiatrist. As Dr Busner delves deeper into his investigations, he uncovers shocking revelations that will have a lasting impact on both himself and those around him.
