Living in a society that refuses to recognize women as serious scientists, Mary struggles to gain respect in the male-dominated world of paleontology alongside her troubled husband, Henry. When Mary discovers old papers linked to Victor Frankenstein’s abandoned experiments, she becomes obsessed with uncovering his scientific secrets. This leads her and Henry into a dangerous project: attempting to create life from reconstructed remains, echoing Frankenstein’s original experiment. As their work progresses, the couple’s ambition turns into obsession. Their creation begins to challenge not only scientific limits but also their marriage, morality, and sense of identity. Mary becomes increasingly conflicted as she develops a more emotional and protective bond with the being they have brought into existence, while Henry’s ambition grows more reckless.
