Nathan Underhill is right at the cutting edge of stem-cell research: attempting to recreate mythological creatures in order to cure medical conditions like Alzheimer's and MS.

After five years of research, he loses his funding. But Nathan suspects that somebody else has succeeded in breeding mythical hybrids.

He discovers that Doctor Zauber, owner of the local care home, has brought to life the basilisk, which could reputedly kill any living thing with a single stare.

When Nathan's wife, Grace, is put into a coma after nearly being killed, Nathan is forced to choose: lose Grace forever, or enter into an unholy alliance with Zauber to breed more mythological beasts, at the cost of many more human lives...

When composer Gideon Lake moves into his new apartment building, he becomes infatuated by his neighbour Kate Solway. After they begin a passionate affair, they travel to Europe to continue their fling in secret.

But, when strange and unexplainable events start to happen, what should have been a romantic trip turns into a nightmare.

Deeply disturbed, Gideon returns home, but he can't stop thinking about Kate.

As he considers all of the terrifying things that have happened in her presence, he begins to search for answers to questions he has never been brave enough to ask:

Braydon Harris and Suki, his little girl, are leaving her grandparent's house when a huge truck jack-knifes in front of their car. Suki is thrown from the vehicle and ends up in hospital suffering with terrible burns.

Luckily, cryptozoology professor Nathan Underhill is working on a perfect cure. Underhill breeds mythological beasts, and lately he's been working with the legendary phoenix – whose cells he believes might hold exceptional healing properties against burns.

Despite the treatment, Suki finds that the pain from the burns only exacerbates a terrible nightmare she's had for years – one that's becoming realer by the minute, about scary things flying through the sky… and now they’re headed straight for her.
