In Boston, 1865, a series of murders inspired by the torments of Dante's Inferno terrorize the city. A group of poets and Harvard professors, self-proclaimed the Dante Club and led by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, embark on a dangerous investigation to identify the killer. While working on the first American translation of The Divine Comedy, these intellectuals are forced to become detectives to stop the growing wave of violence. With the help of Nicholas Ray, Boston's first black police officer, the club delves into a dark labyrinth of clues and suspicions, where a medieval hell seems to break loose on the streets of a city convulsed by civil war, Lincoln's assassination, and racial unrest.
