In the vibrant yet slightly creepy world of Victorian-era Boston, a self-conscious student gets a little uncomfortable when his professor sends him to the home of a mysterious wealthy widow. But things really get interesting when she creates a clone of him to pose nude for her Bohemian friends to draw. It turns out this is just his introduction to the arcane world of alchemy.
Starring Alexander Lewis and Kim Kennedy. Written and Directed by Josh Kastorf. Produced by Josh Kastorf and Kim Kennedy. Music by Rob Byrd.
