Be careful what you wish for... A modern-day Sherlock Holmes, Bernie Quist operates as a consultant detective from Baker Avenue in York. His assistant is Watson, although this Watson is a streetwise youth from the Grimpen housing estate and he's definitely no doctor. The mismatched duo take on bizarre cases which invariably lead into the realms of the supernatural, a shadowy world that, thanks to his dark secret, Quist is all too familiar with. The city of York freezes beneath a bleak winter sky as Howl of the Wolfman, a low-budget British horror movie, is filmed amongst the medieval buildings and quaint narrow streets. Two members of the film crew are not at all what they seem, and following several curious disappearances and deaths at the movie locations, Quist and Watson find themselves mixed up in the mystery. Their involvement soon becomes a frantic race to stop an unimaginable danger that originates from ancient Persia - a mystical danger which, unless quickly destroyed, could threaten the entire world. Once again, a dark and very peculiar game is afoot...
