A Sunday drive in the country for Macky and Millie turns into a rain-drenched detour into the town of Arkham. When a giant spider jumps in front of the coupe, Macky steers the car into a ditch, leaving them stranded.
Arkham isn't what it used to be, and the name Herbert West keeps making its way into the conversation. What is the green glow emanating from the asylum? Why does it never stop raining? And who's responsible for the unearthed graves at Christ's Church Cemetery? Herbert West has been dead for more than fifteen years, but something is stirring in the bowels of the asylum, and the people of Arkham are trying desperately to keep it a secret.
