A dark and twisted comedy set in the 1830s. Helene is the lone survivor of a ship washed ashore near the small English village of Hunderby. There, she is swept off her feet by widowed pastor Edmund. But Helene has a dark past that she cannot escape. Featuring a cast of fiends, physicians, hunchbacks, wastrels, maids, crones, and an adorable puppy called Susan, Hunderby oozes with dark and absurd humour.
