"Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) saa toimeksiannon. Demonologiasta luennoiva Boris Balkan (Frank ”Nixon-Skeletor-Dracula” Langella) palkkaa nukkavierun, ja häikäilemättömästi toimivan bibliofiilin etsimään kolmen säilyneen 300-vuotta sitten kirjoitetun, Venetsiassa vuonna 1666 julkaistun satanistisen kirjan – Yhdeksän porttia varjojen valtakuntaan – eroja.
