In the late 19th century, London widow Cora Seaborne (Claire Danes) relocates to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent. She joins forces with the local parson, Will Ransome (Tom Hiddleston), who shares her passion for science and scepticism. As they dig deeper into the mysterious sightings, their bond grows stronger, but their methods are put to the test when tragedy strikes.
