In the late 18th century, driven by a desire to conquer death, ambitious young scientist Victor Frankenstein embarks on a daring and controversial endeavor to create life from death. Obsessed with his work and spurred on by his belief that he can bring about a great scientific breakthrough, Victor spends years researching and experimenting. Pushed to the edge of sanity by his fixation, he successfully assembles and animates a living being from the parts of exhumed corpses. However, the result is not the perfect human specimen he envisioned, but a grotesque creature that, despite its human traits, is met with horror and revulsion.

The creature, bewildered by its existence and shunned for its monstrous appearance, initially seeks affection and acceptance from its creator and the world at large. Unprepared and unwilling to take responsibility for the life he has brought into being, Victor rejects the creature, setting off a chain of events that have devastating consequences for both of them. As the creature faces cruelty and isolation, it becomes increasingly desperate and vengeful, seeking recognition and recompense from its creator for the pain of its solitary existence. The bound fates of Victor and his creation become a harrowing tale of ambition, humanity, and the consequences of playing god.
