In the capitol of all rust-belt urban wastelands, Daniel Lintz inherits the family mansion, a rundown, ramshackle assembly of boards, located in a tony neighborhood where rot and decay are taking hold. While inventorying the mansion's contents with the mysterious family lawyer, Mr. DuMichelle, Daniel discovers his great-grandfather's life's work: a meticulously archived treasure trove of lost papers, secret military hardware, and fantastic inventions, all locked up and hidden away in the basement. But why were these fantastic and world-changing inventions boxed-up in a forgotten exile for a century? Daniel quickly falls under the spell of the mansion's allure and sets about restoring it to its original splendor. He becomes possessed by the strange and fantastic powers hidden in the archive's hundreds of crates. One fateful night Daniel is visited by a malevolent entity that leads him to one crate tucked away in a far off corner of the archive-a crate containing perhaps the most important invention of the 20th Century-an invention however, with a fatal and deadly flaw.
