HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

In the remote wilderness of Northern Canada, St. Camillus Consumption Sanitarium stands as a crumbling monument to faith, fear, and forgotten lives. Here, modern medicine is cast aside in favour of penitence, prayer, and punishing isolation. Margaret Sanderson, a young Métis nurse with a shadowed past, tends quietly to the dying — and to the ghosts that linger just beyond the veil. But when Cornelius ‘Red’ McIntyre, a beloved Irish tenor, arrives at the sanitarium barely clinging to life, strange things begin to stir. Twisted apparitions, whispered voices, and shared visions bind the two together as they unearth a dark thread that ties their lives to the sins of the past. Just as Margaret begins to believe she may not be mad — or alone — Cornelius dies… and then resurrects three days later.

A gothic mystery woven with identity, religious guilt, and the supernatural, White Plague is a chilling meditation on memory and faith that begs the age-old question: “What makes a Messiah?”
