Dead Still

In Victorian-era Ireland, portrait photographer Brock Blennerhasset has made a successful career out of commemorating the recently deceased. When one of his photographic plates goes missing-putting his reputation on the line-Blennerhasset hires eager gravedigger Conall Molloy to help find it.

Blennerhasset and Molloy photograph a young boy who drowned, but when a heavy storm descends upon the area, it forces them to stay at a house that may be haunted. Desiring a more exciting social life, Blennerhasset’s niece, Nancy, attends a party, though her brother, Henry, puts a damper on the evening.

When Blennerhasset discovers that some of his camera equipment has gone missing, he and Nancy travel to an unsavory part of Dublin to track down Molloy, who has also disappeared. Meanwhile, Detective Regan follows up on a lead regarding the illicit photos circulating in Dublin’s black market.

When Nancy’s grandmother dies, Molloy meets Blennerhasset’s difficult family. Molloy brings Blennerhasset and Nancy to a séance to capture a photograph of a ghost.

During a job out in the country, Blennerhasset and Molloy realize the illicit photo album is in their possession, and they worry that they could be suspects in a crime.

When his life is threatened, Blennerhasset reveals he knows who created the album, but his silence has already put Nancy in danger.
