Plots(1)
When a mother and daughter are found viciously murdered in 19th-century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper - part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social outcast Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack). But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly killing occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues as the pair races to stop a madman from turning every one of the author's shocking stories into blood-curdling reality. When Poe's love, Emily (Alice Eve), becomes the killer's next target, the stakes are raised even higher and he must call on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.
