Garrett is a hardboiled detective living in the city of TunFaire, a melting pot of different races, cultures, religions, and species.

When some of the victims come back from the dead and attack the living house guests, Garrett calls upon his good friend Morley Dotes for backup.

As the pieces start to come together, Garrett and Morley hire an exorcist by the name of Doctor Doom, and with the remaining house staff gathered, they confront the sick general in his quarters.

Additionally, Garrett and company deduce that all the murders were in fact committed by the general's daughter, Jennifer, in an attempt to keep the family estate intact after her father's death; she has lived there all her life and dreads having to leave it.

In the aftermath, both the general and Jennifer die, and Garrett takes as his only payment a haunting, likely magic-touched painting of Eleanor fleeing an unseen horror, as he has half fallen in love with her, and vice versa.
