Perhaps the largest collection of occult items in the world was hidden during World War Two, locked away by the mysterious Walter Von Krebes. Now it is 2025 and he has died. All of his possessions have been left to his grandson, Manfred Von Krebes. Manfred needs money and is selling off his grandfather’s occult collection at an exclusive auction to be held at his secluded, high-security manor house in the remote wilderness of Canada.
While Manfred does not believe in the supernatural or magic, his select group of guests are of a different mind. They each have their own reasons for wanting the arcane items that are listed in the yellowed inventory ledgers of Walter Von Krebes.
