Description: In 1864, St. Pancras is a sprawling cemetery-slum. With the advent of the Great Midland railway line, 10,000 bodies must be disinterred and, by order of the church, reburied on consecrated soil. Charged with the exhumation are The Resurrection Men, a gang of thugs for whom the dead are no more sacred than the ground they break, and at their head, the young Thomas Hardy, architectural apprentice and callow idealist.
