1911 A strange man appears on Long Island. Professor Sardi, a fanatic with a secret past and the aura of Dr. Frankenstein, assembles a panopticon - a sinister museum to show people the wonders of life. And Coralia, a girl accustomed to difficulties, becomes such a miracle. Others performing alongside her are Butterfly Girl, Jungle Boy and Wolf Man. Coralia likes the attention of the public and the kindness of her new friends, but one day everything changes. A terrible discovery, a corpse with its mouth sewn shut with blue thread, frightens her and makes her think. Gradually, Coralia understands: she needs to escape from the professor and start a new life, otherwise it may be too late.
