Based on Peter Ackroyd's novel this is a gothic murder mystery set in London's dangerous Limehouse district in 1880. A series of gruesome and bloody murders have shaken the community. So monstrous and ruthless are these crimes the press claim they're the work of 'The Golem' - a legendary creature from dark times... Confronted by a murderer of a yet unknown kind and with no genuine leads, the police put the relatively inexperienced Detective Inspector Kildare (Bill Nighy) on the case, a scapegoat for when the next victim surfaces.
