In 1920s Providence a young heir becomes obsessed with an enigmatic eighteenth‑century ancestor, plunging into forbidden manuscripts and occult experiments that revive ancient, inhuman knowledge; as he is altered by ancestral transference and eerie disappearances unsettle his household, a resolute physician digs through records and hidden chambers to expose centuries‑old necromancy and malevolent revenants, culminating in a desperate struggle to prevent a monstrous rebirth that threatens identity, sanity, and the safety of the city.
