Ralph Parker inherits Drakko Castle alongside his wife Gilda, only to become fatally captivated by a portrait of Lydia, the castle's dead mistress—a woman who materializes before him with an otherworldly claim and a sinister invitation. As Ralph finds himself drawn into her supernatural world and bound by a midnight appointment three nights hence, Gilda and Anton watch helplessly as he slips further from their reach, consumed by forces that operate beyond the realm of the living.

Now the possessed automobile hunts Kemp with supernatural fury, and only Kemp's confession and a clever trap involving a giant magnet offer any hope of stopping the spirit-driven machine before it claims more victims.
