In 19th-century Toronto, newly appointed police detective Kenneth Rijkers investigates the murder of an upper-crust at the alleyways of Devil's Elbow, under the authority of tycoon Basil Garvey. In his interview with procurer Horatio Dixon and his girlfriend Daisy Zywiecki, the latter ascertains the figure was wearing a widow's funeral clothing in black - hence the killer's name. During the victim's second autopsy with medical examiner Dr. Melanda Israel, Rijkers finds a hidden note from the corpse. He concludes the killer is preying on the targets connected to the murder of Margaret Mehar. With the help of the current victim's wife Regina Simcoe, he uncovers pieces of evidence relating to Margaret and the infamous "Jack the Ripper" hoax.

He refuses fearing involvement but his cabaret performer Salomé provides Enid with evidence containing photos of Garvey's scandal. Before she can publish the paper at her shop, the Widow attacks Jenkins who had falsely identified the father of current town pastor Andrew May Jr. as Margaret's murderer.

After Margaret humiliates her at a party, Salomé conspires with Garvey and the others to lure her into the bondage room at the brothel. They summon Alistair to rape her, after which Garvey kills her.

The interrogation is interrupted when Regina pleads for Israel to save Andrew after he is stabbed in the street by Garvey's henchman. Following a confrontation with the Widow, who then flees the hospital, Israel delivers her blood to Andrew. During the night, she reveals to Rijkers that after Margaret died, Garvey paid her to mutilate the corpse and leave it outside the alleyways so Jenkins could frame Andrew's father.
