Le tristement célèbre massacre de Peterloo eut lieu en 1819, lorsqu’un rassemblement pacifique en faveur de la démocratie à St. Peter’s Field à Manchester. Il reste l’un des épisodes les plus sanglants de l’histoire britannique. Ce jour-là, la police chargea une foule de plus de 60 000 personnes réunies pour exiger des réformes politiques et protester contre la montée de la pauvreté. De nombreux manifestants furent tués et des centaines d’autres blessés, provoquant des manifestations dans tout le pays, mais aussi de nouvelles répressions du gouvernement. Ce moment déterminant de l’histoire britannique mena à la création du journal The Guardian.

À l'époque victorienne, un jeune couple, Constance et Joseph Barton, vivent dans une immense demeure au cœur de Londres. A l’origine complices et fusionnels, leurs relations, notamment sexuelles, se sont ternies depuis l’arrivée de leur fille Angelica, née dans des circonstances traumatisantes. Depuis, suivant le conseil de son médecin, elle pratique l'abstinence sexuelle pour ne plus souffrir. Au détriment de son époux, Constance s'est mise à surprotéger leur enfant, s'éloignant progressivement de Joseph. Un matin, la petite fille fait une confidence inquiétante à ses parents : chaque nuit, une mystérieuse présence prédatrice vient lui rendre visite dans sa chambre. Si son père ne prête guère attention aux dires de sa fille, Constance, troublée, tente d’en savoir plus. Terrorisée qu’il puisse arriver malheur à son enfant, elle se met en tête de sonder les recoins obscurs de la maison afin de percer à jour la terrifiante menace. D'autant plus qu'elle commence elle aussi à voir ce spectre comme sa fille, une forme humaine qui laisse un ectoplasme ressemblant à du sperme sur son passage... Une manifestation surnaturelle qui intensifie ses peurs sexuelles et son anxiété liée à son enfant.
