Londra, 1929. La città, dopo i traumi della Grande Guerra, è ancora animata dai fermenti degli anni ruggenti. Leonardo arriva dagli Stati Uniti per stabilirsi nell’antica dimora di famiglia, ma le sue giornate londinesi sono presto turbate dal susseguirsi di incontri inattesi. Uno stravagante egittologo e la sua affascinante assistente, un uomo misterioso che si presenta alla sua porta di notte per chiedere aiuto, la giovane Lilith, che da anni non parla e sembra essere in contatto con presenze ultraterrene. Proprio nel corso delle sedute di terapia con la ragazza, Palamides viene lentamente trascinato in una dimensione parallela. Forse i destini di Lilith e dell’uomo misterioso sono legati tra loro, e i due lo stanno trasportando oltre la soglia dell’inconoscibile. Mentre a Londra si moltiplicano le aggressioni notturne riconducibili a un uomo dai tratti animaleschi, per Palamides comincia una vera e propria discesa negli inferi in cui dovrà confrontarsi con una forza oscura che si sta risvegliando.
