Plot

Living on an estate on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lord Byron is visited by Percy and Mary Shelley. Together with Byron's lover Claire Clairmont, and aided by hallucinogenic substances, they devise an evening of ghoulish tales. However, when confronted by horrors, ostensibly of their own creation, it becomes difficult to tell apparition from reality.

The story of the night Mary Shelley gave birth to the horror classic FRANKENSTEIN: Disturbed, drug-induced games are played and ghost stories are told one rainy night at the mad Lord Byron's country estate. Personal horrors are revealed, and the madness of the evening runs from sexual fantasy to the fiercest nightmare. Mary finds herself drawn into the sick world of her lover Shelley and stepsister Claire as Byron leads them all down the dark paths of their souls.
