When opium-addicted detective, Nathaniel Brannick, receives a new case from Scotland Yard, he unwittingly puts himself in the middle of an investigation that has him questioning if the supernatural is real or just some elaborate plot crafted by his two lead suspects.
Consumed is about Sergeant Nathaniel Brannick, a detective living in Victorian England who loathes the world he lives in. Trapped in London during a period of disease, crime, and insatiable vices, he fights to keep his humanity after his wife falls ill from consumption. In order to manage his grief, Brannick turns to opium, but struggles to keep his addiction under control while overseeing both his comatose bride and police work. Then one night as he returns home from work, Nathaniel stumbles upon an eerie messenger in his flat who warns of darker things to follow. The next day he takes a new case involving a victim who suffered from the same ailment as his wife. As he uncovers more clues, he cannot help but wonder if the practical man he once was has been altered by an investigation encompassed in the paranormal. That is until he meets the witch hunters and everything takes a turn for the worse.
