One night in 1912, the prosperous Birling family is celebrating their daughter’s engagement with a small dinner party in the British industrial city of Brumley. Following dinner, the family is visited by Inspector Goole, a policeman who questions each member of the family in turn about the death of a young working-class woman. The inspector’s relentless search for answers threatens to destroy the family’s public reputation and undermines the relationships they once held dear.
