While scouring the streets of Detroit for his lost championship ring, a former basketball star, suffering from mental illness, finds himself stuck in a time warp and unable to come to grips with life as it is now.

This follow-up to the George Romero/Stephen King-launched anthology series features five new tales of horror and a wraparound. The main stories deal with alternative realities (“Alice”), possessed communication devices (“The Radio”), vampires and serial killers in lust (“Call Girl”), mad inventors (“The Professor’s Wife”), and hauntings from beyond the grave (“Haunted Dog”).
