Hidden away in the dreary depths of Ingolstadt, he pieces together a terrifying ambition—to bestow animation upon lifeless matter. But when his dark experiments finally culminate on a stormy November night, the awe of triumph instantly dissolves into suffocating terror. He has not created an angel of progress, but a physically hideous, wretched creature. Fleeing from his own abominable creation, Victor unknowingly sets in motion a tragic chain of events. As the monstrous being escapes into the world, desperate for connection but met only with violent disgust, the ultimate stakes are drawn. Now, a cat-and-mouse game of apocalyptic proportions threatens to consume Victor's sanity, his beloved family, and his very soul.
