Trapped in an old and unfamiliar house by a snowstorm, college student Beau Walton discovers amongst the belongings of their deceased relative a collection of mysterious tape recordings, which slowly drags them deeper into a decades old web of tragedy and conspiracy, as they become embroiled in the life and unnatural deeds of the mysterious and enigmatic Victor Frankenstein... A modernised retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, "The Frankenstein Files" combines modern and gothic horror sensibilities, interweaving the past and present in the parallel lives of its protagonists.
