In 1844, detectives Miles Fordham and Bill Leger visit New Bretagne's roughest district to investigate a report about a series of break-ins at a flower shop.

Miles' decision to stake out the shop and catch the thief in the act goes disastrously wrong when they are spooked, and the subsequent pursuit to the rooftop causes the untimely death of Bill.

However, following the funeral he begins to hear the voice of his deceased partner, who urges him to locate the burglar who caused his death, forcing him to take a sleeping medicine to cope with the strain it places on both his mental well-being and personal life with his wife Adelaide.

To help him deal with the death of his partner, Constance Upton, a female assistant in the city's police and close friend, provides leads to cases for him to investigate.

As he attempts to investigate the cases, Miles begins to change how he copes, opting to stop taking his medicine and go drinking at the pub he and Bill visit.

However, his decision causes him to become estranged with his wife, who forces him out of their home after being unable to cope with his change in behavior, and leaving him no choice but to stay with Upton as a result.

Providing him with crime scene sketches she had copied, Upton asks Miles to investigate the case due to the increasing panic amongst the city's inhabitants.

Investigating each of the previous victims soon leads Miles to learn that each of the murdered men either beat up or killed a woman, most of whom were prostitutes, and that the killer sought justice for these.

He discovers evidence showing that he sought justice against men that had attacked women, in response to his aunt's death at the hand of a client, leaving Easter lilies behind to honor her memory.
