In London, 1940, as the German Blitzkrieg rains destruction down in London, a bomb drops and destroys the makeshift laboratory of an aged sorcerer/scientist who calls himself Malcolm Schreck.

In desperation, Schreck travels to the estate of a minor English lord with a tawdry interest in the occult. There, instead of knowledge, Schreck brings only danger and misery to both the lord and the common English pimp in his employ, Arthur Drake.

Taking an unusual interest in Drake, Schreck follows the pair as they make their escape to America.

In a small Michigan town, fifty years later, both Malcolm Schreck and Arthur Drake will discover the true nature of evil and the terrifying price of immortality. With only two wildly disparate young men to aid them, Schreck and Drake resume their battle, and a new version of hell rises up in the quiet Midwest.
