In the 1890s, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) adopts modern techniques like 'finger marks' and forensics to track Toronto's most sinister killers. Though derided by his skeptical boss (Thomas Craig), Murdoch finds friends and allies in a lovely pathologist (Hélène Joy) and an eager-to-learn constable (Jonny Davis). Along the way they cross paths with some of the era<U+2019>s most famous figures, including Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Prince Alfred."--container.
