Description

Set in the bustling London of 1903, the story opens on a tense evening between two old friends: the ambitious young doctor Ralph Boyd and his carefree companion, Ambler Jevones. Their conversation, laced with cigarette smoke and banter, quickly turns from light‑hearted teasing to a deep‑seated unease. Boyd confides that he feels a vague, ominous threat lurking around him, though he cannot pinpoint its source.

As Jevones listens, the ordinary world of hospitals and society clubs begins to crack, hinting at a network of concealed motives and hidden agendas. The “seven secrets” that hover just out of reach promise to entangle both men in a web of intrigue that could upend their careers and lives. Listeners are drawn into a game of suspicion, where every familiar face might conceal a dangerous purpose, and the only way forward is to trust instinct—or risk being consumed by it.
