Spooky drama based on the 1970s television movies and short-lived series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," in which a reporter winds up investigating and solving bizarre cases featuring otherworldly creatures and other mysterious atrocities. In this version, Kolchak is a haunted man, having been once accused of the murder of his own wife and having been committed for a time when no one believed his story of the monsters that killed her and attacked him on a lonely desert road. He has made it his life's mission, investigating mysterious deaths like his own wife's; the only connection is a red, snake-like birthmark on all the victims.
