For Kirsty Cotton, the nightmares never end. Awakening as a patient at
the Channard Institute - a psychiatric hospital for the mentally disabled -
she recalls discovering the skinned corpse of her father, watching the
lifeforce sucked from the body of her murderous stepmother and eluding the
perverse pleasures of the demonic Cenobites.
Behind his veneer of cool proficiency, Doctor Channard conceals deep
and dark secrets. With the information he learns from Kirsty, Channard has
the blood-stained mattress upon which Julia died delivered to his home.
He has spent a lifetime collecting the secrets of the Lament Configuration
puzzle box, and now he is prepared to go to any lengths to unlock the
portals that lead into the Outer Darkness.
Using the blood of one of his more deeply disturbed patients, Channard
succeeds in releasing Julia's flayed spirit from the mattress. In return
for supplying innocent victims on which to feed and restore her flesh, Julia
will reveal to him the awesome powers which exist beyond time and space.
Meanwhile, a vision of her skinned father manifests itself in Kirsty's
hospital room, entreating her to help him.
Along with another patient, the enigmatic Tiffany, who never speaks but
is adept at solving puzzles, Kirsty ventures beyond the limits into Stygian
corridors in an attempt to rescue her father from his eternal torment. Her
quest will once again set her against the dark desires of Pinhead and the
other Cenobites, and force her to confront the awesome powers of their
omnipotent master: Leviathan - the Lord of Hell's Labyrinth . . .
