Based on a single chapter the Captain's Log from Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel Dracula the story is set aboard the Russian schooner Demeter which was chartered to carry private cargo - twenty-four unmarked wooden crates - from Carpathia to London. The film will detail the strange events that befell the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage stalked each night by a terrifying presence on board the ship. When it finally arrived near Whitby Harbour it was a derelict. There was no trace of the crew.
