==Synopsis==
After the funeral of the grandmother who raised her, freelance photographer and urban explorer Becca Philips begins to uncover her family's history of involvement with the occult, and the events which led to her grandfather's incarceration and death in a mental health facility.
Shortly afterwards, when the Starry Wisdom Cult, a group devoted to the Outer God Nyarlathotep, attempt to summon forth Shub-Niggurath and, ultimately, Azathoth, Becca must use her family legacy to save the future of the human race. With the aid of her best friend and lover Rafael Moreno, adopted stray dog Django, and SPECTRA agent Jason Brooks, she utilises the power of an ancient counter to the Shining Trapezohedron to thwart the schemes of the Old Ones. However, not all of them survive the encounter…
