Stymied by the cadets' code of silence, Landor enlists the help of one of their own to pursue the case, an eccentric cadet with a disdain for the rigors of the military and a penchant for poetry - a young man named Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling). Fearing irreparable damage to the fledgling military academy, its leaders turn to a local detective, Augustus Landor (Christian Bale), to solve the murder. Here are four tales - The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, Hop-Frog, and The Fall of the House of Usher- by the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. But after the body arrives at the morgue, tragedy becomes savagery when it's discovered that the young man's heart has been skillfully removed. In the early hours of a gray winter morning, a cadet is found dead.
