The story
In 1926, 13 years after his mother's death, illusionist and escapologist Harry Houdini has begun debunking mystics, psychics, and others who claim to have paranormal powers.
Mary has a music hall psychic act that pulls in the public: Benji surreptitiously gathers information on the audience, which Mary uses to fake contact with their deceased loved ones.
She also has distressing dreams about being trapped in an underwater tank, and an angel-like figure with red hair.
