The Resurrected

In Providence, the beautiful and elegant Claire Ward hires the private investigator John March to investigate the whereabouts and the activities of her husband Charles Dexter Ward. She discloses that Charles changed his behavior and became obsessed when he found several files and a painting that belonged to his ancestral Joseph Curwen, who looks like Charles. John and his team locate Charles at Toxic Valley, in a farmhouse close to a cemetery he has recently bought to carry out his secret experiments. John and his assistant Lonnie Peck discover that Charles is buying several shipments of meat and bringing to the farmhouse. John poses as a fireman supervisor and contacts Charles at the farmhouse and he says that he is conducting experiments with dead animals. When Charles' neighbor is found murdered and eaten, the police assume that a wild animal did it, but John is not convinced. John returns with Claire to the farmhouse and they find Charles acting like a lunatic with a different voice, and she decides to intern him in a mental institution. The doctors are unable to diagnose his hunger for blood and raw meat. John goes to Charles' carriage house and finds a journal from 1771 written by his ancestral Ezra Ward and learns secrets from Joseph Curwen. He goes with Lonnie and Claire to the catacombs of the farmhouse and begins to solve the bizarre mystery of Charles and Joseph Curwen.
