Set at the fictional college of Miskatonic University, the series follows students Crawford Tillinghast and Herbert West as they engage in their own respective experiments.
As the series progresses the two men become entangled in not only issues arising from their work but also interference from the sinister Professor Wallace.
Using his dead father's notes as a guide, he manages to successfully create a resonator capable of opening portals to other dimensions but kills his assistant Brian in the process.
Crawford resumes his experiments with the help of his friends and girlfriend Mara, all of whom are quickly enamored by the machine's ability to give them pleasure.
She is successful, but is then murdered by Dakota, a Miskatonic University student and follower of Kathogra who intends to use the resonator to bring the entity over fully.
Meanwhile, fellow student Herbert West has begun experimenting with a serum with the goal of restoring life, using the basement of his current lodgings as a laboratory.
