A darkly imaginative anthology of three supernatural tales that blend time travel, vampirism, and resurrection into a meditation on fate and the dangers of tampering with forces beyond human control.

This anthology tells three stories: a man buys a car that takes him back and forth through time; a tale of vampires; and a distraught mother asks for her drowned son to come back to life and gets more than she bargained for.
