When disgraced celebrity biographer Don Ruby is offered a contract with a reputable publishing house, he's sure there's been a mistake. He goes to clear things up with the actual writer in question, but finds him dead.
On impulse, he pockets the man's notes and embarks on the writing project himself-a biography of a once-famous horror film director. More specifically, the director's lost movie, The Unveiling.
The more Don learns about the film, the more disassociated he becomes from reality. There's something sinister behind The Unveiling, something that wants to be reborn ... and it needs Don to do it.
