Sybil
Chamberlain is a quiet, creative soul. Her hobbies are taxidermy and
poetry. She works in a funeral parlor with the deceased. She likes dead
people. They understand her.
At
just ten years old, she experienced trauma in a tragic accident which
took away the family she adored. Now, an aching loneliness prevails in a
void which she seeks to fill. But poetry and a vivid imagination
provide an escape from the harsh realities of a lonely life.
Reality
and reason are slipping away from Sybil and her ‘dark desires’ become
more and more insatiable. Her fascination with the dead takes a dark and
strange twist. And in a horrific climax of gothic proportions, she
finds her own kind of happiness and contentment with the people she
keeps as company - dead people.
