With just nine days until Halloween, Skullface wakes in his unmarked grave. He forces his way out and begins to question why he was there, who he is, what did he do to be buried in such a place.

The Isle of Wight is a reasonably large place. There are many secluded corners which is just as well. Skullface needs them to kill, to drink the blood and eat the flesh to 'survive'. He justifies this by argument; the two sides of his mind are in constant battle.

As Halloween draws closer, so Skullface's memories become clearer and he gets ever closer to remembering the reason for his death, his dysfunctional family and very strange life. He backs off from it many times but knows that if he is to permanently die, which is what he wants, he has to confront his past.

When Halloween finally arrives, he makes the last walk to his home...
