At a dead end, Bentley reluctantly engages the help of his old friend and tenacious journalist Gwendolyn Marks. Their path leads them to the strange traveling circus where Tianna was killed and the sinister ringmaster who runs it, Doctor Nocturne (André de Shields). Meanwhile, in the past, Bentley’s relationship with Death (in the form of a little girl) strengthens as he gets weaker, while his parents push Professor Romulus to find a way to save him, even if it means defying the very laws of nature.
