Though marginally successful in stemming the tide against an outbreak of ancient nameless threats, Sandstrom and his associates suffered grave losses. Now they face trying to thwart continued efforts of an entity known as the Dark One and his servants. An attempt at acquiring a talisman of ancient dread results in a painful death for a visitor to Chaos and a grisly find by rookie police officer, Timothy Erickson. His investigation causes him to join the struggle against those who would end the reign of man on earth. Meanwhile the Pinkerton operative Deborah and the woman she protects, Elizabeth Howard, find they are not as safe as they had hoped they were, secluded at the cabin of a blind preacher. Even more terrifying for Elizabeth, is her pregnancy and worries over who, or what, the father might be. The disappearance of a drummer named Perez causes Dr. Phillips to try and find him with disastrous results for the doctor and his family, including his adopted son, James, the boy who survived the attack that he believes claimed the life of his cousin Seth. With the unwavering help of Indian allies these disparate individuals fight to conquer their own fears and defeat mysterious enemies despite a mounting sense of fearful dread. But the odds against them are great and many unknown terrors await them at each and every turn of the haunted Streets of Chaos.
