Set against the backdrop of 1930s Los Angeles amid the Golden Age Of Hollywood, Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels revolves around the Vega family and the deep-rooted horrors that form the cornerstone of a city brimming with deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. The dark fantasy opens with a grisly murder that traumatizes the city and pulls Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) into the death-defying case. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. While on one side we have the Mexican folklore saint - Santa Muerte (Lorenza Izzo), a guide to the great beyond, the other sees her spiritual sister, the demoness Magda, who believes mankind is inherently evil and committed to let the world burn! All it takes for Magda is soft whispers to bring the City of Angels to destruction.
Amid radical policing, the looming threat of war, and Nazi conspiracies that threaten to derail the Vegas, what follows is a classic good vs evil encounter. Only this time, will good triumph all evil?
