A rotting fishing village on the coast of Massachusetts,
Innsmouth is being devoured from within by a cancer.
The Marsh family, greatly respected in the town by most,
have long brought prosperity to the little village, but only
they know at what cost. For just off the shore, beneath the
waves, lies a secret so terrible that the Marshes would
destroy anyone and anything to protect it. The investigators
must venture into this xenophobic backwater, fearing for
their very lives, in order to stop the plans of the Ancient
One. The investigators will find no allies in Innsmouth,
and few safe havens. But if they are to stop the advance of
the terrible Deep Ones, they have no other choice.
