Insurance investigator, John Trent (Sam Neill), checks himself into an asylum run by Dr. Saperstein (John Glover) as the fabric of society begins to tear.

On the dark and stormy night he checks in, Dr. Wrenn (David Warner) arrives to hear the story of how he got there.

When mysterious horror novelist, Sutter Cane (Jurgen Protchnow) goes missing in the lead up to the release of his latest work, agent Jackson Harglow (Charlton Heston) hires Trent to find him along with editor, Linda Styles (Julie Carmen).

Together they head to the town of Hobbs End where the characters of Cane's novel come to life. Linda takes them straight to an inn that features in the stories run by Mrs. Pickman (Francis Bay) and find the Byzantine church that's been leaking the evil into the town, starting with the children.

Soon, Sam can't tell if he's acting on his own or if that's just the way he's written and now he can't help himself from delivering the work that will allow the return of the Old Ones, Cane's latest and greatest, In the Mouth of Madness, this week on Doom Generation.
