The storyline revolves around present day humans that are having their bodies being "possessed" by the souls from Hell similar to the possessions in the 1950s horror movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The souls from Hell then begin an extremely hedonistic and malicious lifestyle that includes raves, drugs, self-mutilation, murder, and other violence. The possessed bodies then start congregating in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
