Stunned by the sudden deaths of his wife and mother, comic artist Kendall Coffin moves to LA for film work, using his inheritance to buy the bizarro futuristic Hollywood home of famous director Frank Wallanda-who was notorious for his wild parties.

Legendary filmmaker Darryl Wyrick would spin in his grave if he knew the types of movies his studio now makes. He may yet. Wyrick was cryogenically frozen and waits for technology to revive him.

Kendall's work for Wyrick Studios draws him into a netherworld of twisted sexual fantasies ... and the house itself seems to come alive. Radios turn themselves on. Screams in the night.

And what is the significance of the theater with its proscenium of ancient temple stones?

Kendall meets Ronnie, the girl of his dreams, who works for Wyrick World, the amusement park, playing Illeana the Illusionist. Ronnie knows a few tricks of her own.

As a serial killer stalks the young and vulnerable, Ronnie convinces Kendall to hold a séance, and Kendall's Hollywood dream house turns into a nightmare as deaths pile up and a monstrous specter stalks the land.
