β¦ Synopsis
This is no ordinary love story. Itβs one to die for.
16-year-old Penny Boudreaux does her best to be a normal teenager. But normal teenagers donβt work part-time at funeral homes or hang out in cemeteries, something even her friends mock her for. Between the stresses of school, work and toxic relationships, Penny could use a mentor, an older adult to give her guidance. Like a mother. But Pennyβs own mother died years ago, and nobody can return from the dead.
Right?
When Penny meets a handsome but mysterious boy named Stephen, she starts to experience strange things. Whispers in quiet rooms. Grotesque, humanoid figures nobody else can see. And multiple hints that something about Stephen is not quite right. Because Stephen has a connection to the dead Penny never could have imagined.
With Penny and Stephen's combined power, having her mother back seems like a goal that's actually within reach. But with dangerous and powerful forces working against them, Penny must make a crucial decision β one that could cost both she and Stephen their lives.
Inspired by the works of Stephenie Meyer and Stephen King alike, Penny Dreadful explores the themes of death, lossβ¦and what it would really be like to see a deceased loved one one last time.
